Key legal question
Whether the federal constitutional complaint against the cantonal family-law appellate judgment was admissible
Extracted holding
Yes. In protection-of-marital-relations proceedings, the cantonal appellate decision was not a final decision appealable by ordinary appeal, so constitutional complaint was the only available remedy.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that upper cantonal decisions in such proceedings are not end decisions under the OG and therefore cannot be challenged by appeal; review for constitutional rights was available.
