Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court acted arbitrarily by disregarding prior statements in another proceeding as evidence that UDC admitted authorship of the contested advertisement.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The Federal Court held that the cantonal court could not reasonably state that no fact in the record showed an admission by UDC, because the prior pleadings contained multiple clear extrajudicial admissions of authorship.
Motivazione estratta
Statements made in another case were not judicial admissions in this proceeding, but they remained freely appreciable evidence. Ignoring several unequivocal admissions on a decisive fact was untenable and contrary to the file.
