Questão jurídica principal
Whether the federal appeal was admissible and what review standard applied
Decisão extraída
The appeal could be treated as a civil law appeal or, if the value in dispute was insufficient, as a subsidiary constitutional complaint; in either case only clearly raised constitutional grievances were reviewable.
Fundamentação extraída
The value in dispute could be left open because the only arguments raised concerned the right to be heard and arbitrariness, which require specific pleading under either procedural route.
