Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal met the formal requirement to state precise conclusions and indicate annulment or reform
Solution extraite
No. The filing lacked formal conclusions and did not clearly indicate the relief sought, and the defect was not cured within the time limit set by the court.
Motifs extraits
Art. 461 CPC makes such conclusions a condition of admissibility, not a mere rule of order. The appellant's letter of 4 November 2009 only implied a request for reasons and did not specify the requested change, and he did not remedy this after the court's order of 19 January 2010.
