Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal was admissible and whether the first-instance judgment had to be reviewed on the facts and law.
Decisione estratta
The appeal was admissible, but the appellate court was bound by the first-instance findings unless they conflicted with the file; no such conflict was shown.
Motivazione estratta
No contrary evidence had been produced in first instance, and the appellant's default triggered the presumption of truth for the respondent's allegations.
