Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible against the first-instance decision of the justice of peace.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible insofar as it was directed against the first-instance decision, because federal appeal lies against final cantonal decisions of last instance.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Supreme Court held that only decisions rendered by higher cantonal courts acting as last cantonal instance may be challenged under Art. 75 LTF.
