Question juridique clé
Whether the filing could be treated as a constitutional complaint under the Federal Tribunal Act
Solution extraite
The filing could only be considered as a constitutional complaint because the value in dispute did not reach the threshold for an ordinary civil appeal and no fundamental question was involved.
Motifs extraits
Since the cantonal decision was issued after 1 January 2007, the Federal Tribunal Act applied. The prerequisites for a civil appeal were absent, so only the constitutional complaint route was available.
