Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible as a civil appeal or only as a subsidiary constitutional complaint
Extracted holding
The matter was civil, but the value in dispute was below the statutory threshold, so the civil appeal was unavailable and the filing was treated as a subsidiary constitutional complaint.
Extracted reasoning
The requested legal aid concerned extrajudicial advice with a maximum legal-fee exposure below CHF 30,000; therefore Art. 74 LTF was not met.
