Question juridique clé
Whether the civil appeal was admissible despite falling below the statutory value threshold because it raised a question of principle.
Solution extraite
No; the issue framed by the appellants was not decisive for the case because the cantonal record did not concern a wastewater treatment fee, and the appeal therefore did not raise a relevant question of principle.
Motifs extraits
The Court was bound by the cantonal findings. Those findings showed only a fixed water-supply fee based on the municipal water regulation, not a wastewater treatment fee. Since the appellants’ proposed legal question did not correspond to the object of the appealed decision, Article 74(2)(a) LTF could not save admissibility.
