Key legal question
Whether the appeal met the statutory value in dispute and was admissible.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because the main and counterclaims were logically incompatible, so the counterclaim counted by attraction once the principal claim exceeded the threshold.
Extracted reasoning
The court applied Art. 53 para. 2 LTF to avoid contradictory decisions on mutually exclusive claims for salary balance and reimbursement of overpaid advances.
