Key legal question
Whether the civil-law appeal was admissible despite the amount-in-dispute requirement
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the disputed amount before the cantonal court did not reach CHF 30,000 and no exception applied.
Extracted reasoning
For admissibility, only the amount still in dispute before the lower instance counts; interest and costs are excluded. On the figures still contested, the threshold was CHF 25,189.25, so Art. 74 para. 1 lit. b BGG was not met.
