Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal decision refusing interim measures on visitation rights was a final cantonal decision appealable to the Federal Supreme Court
Decisão extraída
The challenged decision was not a final cantonal decision because, under Ticino procedure, the requisite contradictory hearing/review had not taken place; therefore the federal appeal was inadmissible.
Fundamentação extraída
For provisional measures, federal appeal requires exhaustion of all cantonal remedies. Under Ticino law, a contradictory hearing and ensuing review are a condition for cantonal appealability. The record showed no such hearing and no request for it by the appellant.
