Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the civil appeal was admissible despite the amount in dispute.
Decisione estratta
The civil appeal was inadmissible because neither the main claim nor the counterclaim reached the statutory minimum value; amounts cannot be added.
Motivazione estratta
Under the LTF, value in dispute is calculated from the latest claims before the lower court and only capital claims count. Each claim stayed below CHF 15,000, so ordinary civil appeal was closed.
