Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the civil appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the filing fee and the pending legal-aid request.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The civil appeal was admissible in principle, but the separate constitutional appeal was excluded; the fee issue did not make the Supreme Court proceedings inadmissible.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court confirmed the requirements for a civil appeal under the Federal Supreme Court Act and held that the constitutional appeal was subsidiary and therefore unavailable. It also found no arbitrary application of the Geneva fee rules because the legal-aid refusal had been issued before the deadline expired and was not shown to have been challenged.
