Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the Federal Supreme Court could entertain the civil appeal despite the earlier cantonal non-entry decision and new submissions.

The appeal was admissible in civil matters only within the limits of the challenged cantonal decisions; new facts and evidence were ignored, and issues that could have been raised before the cantonal cassation court were not examined.
Motivazione estratta
The court applied the strict requirements on finality, pleading, and novum prohibition under the BGG and held that several complaints were inadmissible because they were not raised before the cantonal cassation court.
