Key legal question
Whether the civil appeal was admissible despite the amount in dispute being below the statutory threshold and no question of principle being shown.
Extracted holding
No; the case did not meet the minimum value requirement and did not raise a sufficiently demonstrated question of principle, so only a subsidiary constitutional appeal was available.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant's reliance on Art. 74 para. 2 let. a LTF was unpersuasive because he did not establish a true legal question of principle.
