Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible despite the value in dispute being below CHF 30,000 because a legal question of fundamental importance was raised.
Extracted holding
Yes; the limitation question under Art. 40f OR was novel, disputed in doctrine, and required clarification.
Extracted reasoning
The Court held the concept of a legal question of fundamental importance must be interpreted restrictively, but the issue here met that threshold because it had general significance and was previously unresolved.
