Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible despite the possibility of a federal appeal on points of law in a civil case exceeding CHF 8,000.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The public-law appeal was not available where the alleged federal-law violations could be raised by appeal on points of law in a civil dispute above the statutory value threshold.
Extrahierte Begründung
Article 84(2) OG makes the extraordinary constitutional remedy subsidiary; because the underlying dispute exceeded CHF 8,000, the appellants had access to a federal-law appeal route for legal issues.
