Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal appeal against the document-production order was time-barred under Art. 96 CPC/TI.
Decisione estratta
The cantonal court did not act arbitrarily in treating the applicable appeal period in special proceedings as ten days, so the appeal filed on 30 March 2009 was late.
Motivazione estratta
The term 'ordinary period' in Art. 96(4) CPC/TI is ambiguous: it can refer either to the normal period for a given procedure or to the ordinary appeal period across procedures. In the absence of clear contrary case law, the cantonal court's interpretation was tenable.
