Key legal question
Whether a federal appeal is admissible when directed only against costs and compensation in a cantonal interlocutory decision.
Extracted holding
Yes. In the special situation where the main dispute had already ended, the appellant retained a current legal interest in challenging only the cost and compensation ruling.
Extracted reasoning
Although cost rulings in interlocutory decisions are usually reviewable only with the final decision, refusing review here would deprive the appellant of any remedy after the underlying matter had become final.
