Key legal question
Whether the constitutional complaint was admissible despite the low amount in dispute
Extracted holding
The ordinary civil appeal was unavailable because the amount in dispute was below the statutory minimum; constitutional complaint was the only available federal remedy and was admissible in form.
Extracted reasoning
The dispute concerned a civil pecuniary matter, but the appellate amount did not reach CHF 30,000. The appellant did not invoke or justify a question of fundamental importance.
