Question juridique clé
Whether the mislabeled subsidiary constitutional appeal had to be converted into a civil appeal and was admissible
Solution extraite
Yes. Because the underlying dispute concerned foundation supervision in a civil-law-related public law matter and the value in dispute threshold was met, the filing was treated as a civil appeal.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Supreme Court held that the admissibility of an appeal about ancillary costs follows the main case. Since the main proceedings could still concern dissolution of the foundation and the disputed assets exceeded the statutory threshold, the civil appeal route was open; a wrongly titled remedy does not harm the appellant if the requirements of the proper remedy are met.
