Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal in civil matters was admissible given the amount in dispute and the legal nature of the watch dispute
Extracted holding
The dispute arose from a loan-for-use contract, not directly from employment law; the minimum amount in dispute for a civil appeal was therefore not met.
Extracted reasoning
The watch was lent outside the performance of work duties, so Article 339a CO did not apply. The relationship was a loan for use under Article 305 CO, and the claim did not reach the threshold under Article 74 LTF.
