Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the cantonal remand decision was immediately admissible before the Federal Supreme Court.
Extracted holding
The decision was an incidental remand decision and was not immediately appealable because no irreparable prejudice was shown and Art. 93(1)(b) LTF was not met.
Extracted reasoning
The cantonal court only decided the prescription issue, not the merits of the compensation claim. No irreparable harm was asserted. The expected evidence-taking in the merits phase was not shown to be unusually extensive or costly, especially since the valuation principles were already settled in cantonal case law.
