Key legal question
Whether the civil appeal in the Federal Supreme Court was admissible despite a low amount in dispute
Extracted holding
No; the amount in dispute was below the statutory threshold and no question of fundamental importance was shown.
Extracted reasoning
The main claim concerned private supplementary insurance and the dispute value was only CHF 12,000. The asserted issue about the meaning of hopelessness under the legal-aid provisions was not a genuine question of fundamental importance.
