Questão jurídica principal
Whether the civil appeal against the cantonal criminal chamber’s judgment was admissible as a civil-law appeal before the Federal Supreme Court.
Decisão extraída
Because only civil claims were decided at the cantonal appellate level, the matter had to be brought as a civil appeal; the formal requirements were otherwise met.
Fundamentação extraída
The challenged decision dealt exclusively with the outstanding civil claims. The dispute value, final cantonal instance, timely filing, and party standing were satisfied.
