Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Federal Supreme Court could hear the civil appeal under Art. 75 BGG despite the cantonal appellate structure.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was admissible; an upper cantonal court may act as the last cantonal appellate instance even if its first-instance decision was issued by another chamber of the same court.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 75 BGG does not require the first instance to be a lower court or a judicial authority; it suffices that the first-instance decision can be reviewed by an upper cantonal court as a remedy decision.
