Key legal question
Whether an immediate federal appeal is admissible against a cantonal conciliation authority's restitution decision.
Extracted holding
No. The Federal Supreme Court held that such a decision is not appealable directly because the conciliation commission is not a tribunal within the meaning of Art. 75(2) LTF.
Extracted reasoning
Article 149 CPC does not create an exception to the LTF rule requiring a decision from a cantonal superior court. Unlike a judge of the place of debt enforcement, a conciliation authority's main task is to conciliate, not to adjudicate as a tribunal.
