Key legal question
Whether the civil-law appeal was admissible despite the disputed amount in controversy below the statutory threshold
Extracted holding
The appeal in civil matters was inadmissible because the value threshold was not met and no principle question justified an exception.
Extracted reasoning
The Court held that the parties’ conduct in cantonal proceedings supported a value range below CHF 30,000 and that the alleged interpretive issues under Art. 684 CC were not questions of principle.
