Key legal question
Admissibility of the civil law appeal and exclusion of the subsidiary constitutional complaint
Extracted holding
The civil law appeal was admissible because the disputed amount before the cantonal court exceeded CHF 30,000; the subsidiary constitutional complaint was therefore inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
The amount in dispute is determined by the claims still contested before the last cantonal instance. The wife had contested the full CHF 38,175.20 and sought dismissal, so the threshold was met.
