Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily refused to treat the wife's statement that the house was an 'acquest' as a judicial admission under Geneva procedural law.
Decisione estratta
No. The qualification of property as own property or acquest is a legal question; a party's legal qualification cannot constitute an admission of fact.
Motivazione estratta
An admission may concern only facts, not legal characterizations. Under jura novit curia, the court applies the law ex officio and is not bound by the parties' legal labels, even if repeated in their pleadings.
