Key legal question
Whether the civil law appeal was admissible against the judgment of the district court of La Côte.
Extracted holding
The appeal was manifestly inadmissible because it was directed against a decision of a court that was not a superior cantonal court within the meaning of Art. 75 LTF.
Extracted reasoning
From 1 January 2011, the Federal Tribunal may hear civil appeals only against final cantonal decisions rendered by a superior court, usually on appeal. The challenged judgment was issued by the district court, which does not satisfy this requirement.
