Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible despite the amount in dispute being below 30,000 francs in principle.
Decisione estratta
The appeal was admissible because the litigated amount before the cantonal court still reached CHF 32,957.40, exceeding the statutory threshold.
Motivazione estratta
The Federal Court left open whether such claims always qualify as state-liability matters, since the decisive amount in dispute satisfied Art. 85(1)(a) LTF in any event.
