Key legal question
Whether the federal complaint against the cantonal decision denying legal aid and requiring an advance for a new appraisal was admissible.
Extracted holding
The complaint was inadmissible because the Federal Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy Chamber may review only federal law and federal treaties; constitutional complaints and arbitrary application of cantonal law must be raised by separate constitutional appeal.
Extracted reasoning
The entitlement to legal aid is governed primarily by cantonal procedural law, with only a minimum guarantee under Art. 29(3) BV. Since the appellant did not invoke a federal-law entitlement to exemption from the advance, the Chamber could not examine the constitutional objections.
