Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the federal civil appeal remained admissible after the challenged cantonal judgment had been annulled and remitted on cassation.
Decisione estratta
The appeal had become moot because the contested judgment no longer existed, so there was no longer an object of review and no legally protected interest in deciding the complaint.
Motivazione estratta
Once the Court of Cassation annulled the cantonal judgment and sent the case back, the federal appeal lost its object. The appellant therefore could not rely on a legally protected interest under Art. 76(1)(b) BGG.
