Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the federal filing could be treated as a civil appeal despite the low amount in dispute.
Extrahierter Entscheid
A civil appeal was not available because the amount in dispute did not reach CHF 15,000 and no legal question of fundamental importance arose.
Extrahierte Begründung
The statutory prerequisites for an appeal in civil matters were not met, so the filing had to be assessed under the subsidiary constitutional complaint regime.
