Key legal question
Whether the civil appeal to the Federal Supreme Court was admissible given the amount in dispute.
Extracted holding
The civil appeal was inadmissible because the dispute value was not reached; only the conciliation costs were contested.
Extracted reasoning
When only cantonal costs are at issue before the Federal Supreme Court, the dispute value is determined solely by the amount of those costs. The required threshold under Art. 74(1)(b) BGG was not met.
