Questione giuridica chiave
Whether a second cantonal appeal was available against a cantonal appellate judgment rendered on appeal in a divorce case.
Decisione estratta
No; under the CPC and the federal appellate system, a judgment rendered by the cantonal superior court on appeal had to be challenged directly before the Federal Supreme Court.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 308 and 319 CPC permit appeal and recourse only against first-instance decisions; a cantonal superior court judgment on appeal is not subject to a further cantonal appeal, and cantonal organizational law cannot alter this federal scheme.
