Key legal question
Whether the reform appeal was admissible despite the appellants not stating that the value in dispute reached CHF 8,000.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the appellants failed to state the required value in dispute and it could not be established with certainty from the file.
Extracted reasoning
In a pecuniary civil dispute, the appellant must indicate in the appeal that the value threshold is met when the amount is undetermined. The Federal Court will not search the file to find possible indications, and no obvious certainty existed here.
