Key legal question
Whether the civil appeal was admissible despite not reaching the ordinary monetary threshold because a fundamental legal question was raised.
Extracted holding
Yes. The court held that the classification of a company name change under Art. 4(1)(c) GebV HReg raises a fundamental legal question.
Extracted reasoning
The issue had never been decided by the Federal Court and was relevant for uniform application of federal law, so the exception under Art. 74(2)(a) BGG applied.
