Questão jurídica principal
Whether the reform appeal was admissible against a cantonal judgment based on public-law liability.
Decisão extraída
The reform appeal was not admissible because the dispute was governed exclusively by cantonal public law, not by federal private law.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 61(1) CO, liability for damage caused by public officials in the exercise of official duties is governed exclusively by cantonal public law; therefore the remedy of reform appeal under the OG was unavailable.
