Key legal question
Whether the civil appeal was admissible despite the value in dispute being below CHF 30,000.
Extracted holding
No; the disputed subject before the Federal Supreme Court concerned only the party-cost award, so the statutory minimum value in dispute was not reached.
Extracted reasoning
In the appeal proceedings only the CHF 7,500 requested party compensation was at stake, not the original CHF 216,386.10 claim. No ground of fundamental legal importance was sufficiently shown.
