Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal against the cantonal recusal decision was admissible as a civil-law appeal.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible as a civil-law appeal because the challenged decision was incidental and the underlying succession disputes exceeded the monetary threshold.
Extracted reasoning
A recusal decision is an incidental decision not separately challengeable under Art. 92 LTF, but it may be attacked through the same remedy as the final decision. The succession claims exceeded CHF 30,000, and the appeal was filed in time.
