Key legal question
Whether the appeal to the Federal Supreme Court was admissible despite challenges aimed at the first-instance judgment and the subsidiary constitutional complaint
Extracted holding
Only the cantonal appellate judgment could be challenged; the subsidiary constitutional complaint was excluded because the civil-law appeal was available.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Supreme Court reviewed admissibility ex officio. Rulings of the first instance were not final cantonal decisions. The dispute was civil in nature and exceeded the statutory value threshold, so the civil-law appeal was the proper remedy.
