Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the filing had to be treated as a subsidiary constitutional complaint rather than another remedy
Extrahierter Entscheid
Because only the civil claim remained disputed and the amount in dispute was below the statutory threshold, the filing could only be treated as a subsidiary constitutional complaint.
Extrahierte Begründung
When only the civil part of a penal judgment remains at issue before the cantonal last instance, the available federal remedy depends on the value in dispute. Here the remaining amount was CHF 480, below the minimum for an ordinary civil appeal.
