Question juridique clé
Whether the filing could be treated as an admissible appeal under the Federal Supreme Court Act
Solution extraite
A civil appeal was unavailable because the disputed amount did not meet the statutory threshold and no legal question of fundamental importance was invoked; the filing was therefore handled as a subsidiary constitutional complaint.
Motifs extraits
The amount in dispute made a ordinary civil appeal inadmissible, and the appellant did not rely on any exception permitting such an appeal.
