Key legal question
Whether the civil law appeal met the statutory value threshold
Extracted holding
The disputed amount for the main claim and counterclaim each remained below CHF 30,000, and the attraction rule could not be used to add them together.
Extracted reasoning
For value calculation, only the remaining disputed conclusions count; interests are excluded. Article 53 LTF does not allow aggregation of principal and counterclaims unless one claim already reaches the threshold. No question of principle was raised.
