Key legal question
Whether the federal cassation appeal was admissible against the lower court's referral of the civil damage claim to civil court.
Extracted holding
No; the challenged decision was issued by a lower cantonal court acting as a court of first instance, so federal cassation was excluded.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 268 No. 1 PP, cassation lies only where no cantonal remedy remains, but it is excluded against decisions of inferior courts deciding as a single cantonal instance.
