Key legal question
Whether the Federal Supreme Court could hear the appeal despite the earlier cantonal procedure and whether constitutional complaints could be examined
Extracted holding
The civil appeal was admissible because the aggregated amount in dispute exceeded the statutory threshold; separate complaints about facts under Article 9 BV were not examined for failure to exhaust remedies.
Extracted reasoning
The claims of the jointly suing employees could be aggregated because they were brought together in one cantonal judgment and were based on similar factual and legal grounds. However, challenges to fact-finding based on arbitrariness were not admissible to the extent they were not first raised in the proper cantonal remedy.
