Key legal question
Whether the civil appeal to the Federal Supreme Court was admissible despite the value in dispute not reaching the statutory threshold.
Extracted holding
The ordinary civil appeal was inadmissible because the value in dispute was below the threshold and no question of fundamental importance was shown.
Extracted reasoning
The relevant amount was calculated from the claims still disputed before the cantonal court; the appellant had overstated the value by assuming a longer duration and including indexation.
