Key legal question
Whether enforcing an out-of-canton criminal fine judgment violates Art. 61 BV and Art. 81(2) SchKG
Extracted holding
No. Art. 61 BV only requires mutual assistance for civil judgments and does not prohibit broader assistance, including enforcement of criminal judgments; Art. 81(2) SchKG does not exclude such assistance.
Extracted reasoning
The Constitution sets a minimum duty for civil judgments only. Cantons may voluntarily or by treaty extend mutual assistance to criminal judgments. Therefore the challenged enforcement order did not breach Art. 61 BV.
