Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the federal complaint was admissible as a criminal-law appeal or only as a civil-law appeal/constitutional complaint.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Because the cantonal court decided only the civil-claim referral and not the criminal merits, criminal-law appeal was unavailable; only a civil-law appeal or subsidiary constitutional complaint could be considered.
Extrahierte Begründung
The upper cantonal court addressed only the civil point. Since the criminal point was no longer disputed, the special rules on appeal type applied accordingly.
