Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Federal Supreme Court could hear the case as a civil-law appeal despite the low amount in dispute.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No civil-law appeal lay because the dispute concerned only costs, the value in dispute was below the statutory minimum, and no legal question of fundamental importance was shown.
Extrahierte Begründung
The cantonal court applied discretionary cost allocation under cantonal law; review was therefore limited to constitutional rights. This did not justify treating the matter as a civil-law appeal.
