Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the civil appeal was admissible despite the filing letter containing only a wish to contest the judgment and no proper reasoning.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was manifestly inadmissible because it did not meet the statutory motivation requirement and the defect could no longer be cured after expiry of the appeal period.
Extrahierte Begründung
A mere expression of the intent to appeal is insufficient under Art. 42(2) LTF. An attached copy of the cantonal appeal brief cannot replace the required reasoning. The appeal period had already expired and cannot be extended.
