Key legal question
How is the amount in dispute calculated when future claims are expressly reserved in a liability case?
Extracted holding
Only the amount actually claimed and contested counts; the reservation of future claims does not create a higher amount in dispute.
Extracted reasoning
The reservation was not a rectification reservation under Art. 8 FHG, but merely a statement that the claimant was not waiving possible later claims. No larger claim was litigated or awarded, so the appeal value was limited to the difference between CHF 445 and the amount acknowledged below CHF 317.30.
