Key legal question
Whether the civil appeal was admissible despite the low amount in dispute because a question of fundamental importance was raised under Art. 74(2)(a) BGG.
Extracted holding
No; the Court held that the issue had already been answered in published case law and concerned only the application of settled principles to the facts.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 689(1) ZGB applies only to naturally flowing water; a captured spring is governed by the general rule of Art. 684 ZGB. The complaint therefore raised no fundamental legal question.
