Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the civil appeal was admissible despite the amount in dispute being below CHF 30,000.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No; the remaining disputed maintenance period amounted to only CHF 17,500, so the statutory threshold was not met and no question of principle was sufficiently articulated.
Extrahierte Begründung
The appellate court had wrongly capitalized the annuity over twenty years. Once the divorce judgment’s effective date was taken into account, only a fixed 13.5-month period remained in dispute.
