Key legal question
Whether the civil law appeal was admissible despite the amount in dispute falling below the statutory threshold, because a fundamental legal question was alleged.
Extracted holding
The case did not raise a fundamental legal question within the meaning of the BGG, so the civil law appeal was not admissible.
Extracted reasoning
The Court stressed that fundamental questions are recognized restrictively. The asserted issue on variable mortgage-linked loan interest did not require immediate federal clarification, especially because the matter can still reach the Court in another case exceeding the threshold.
