Question juridique clé
Whether an appeal lies against an interlocutory judgment refusing joinder of civil cases under Art. 76 CPC.
Solution extraite
No cantonal appeal is available against an interlocutory ruling refusing joinder of cases, unless the joinder issue is linked to a decision rejecting an objection to venue.
Motifs extraits
The court held that only a refusal of joinder is challenged here. Under the cited doctrine, such a ruling is not separately appealable at cantonal level absent the special situation involving a rejected declinatory objection. The appeal is therefore inadmissible.
