Question juridique clé
Whether a public-law appeal was admissible against the cantonal decision fixing first-instance costs
Solution extraite
Yes, because the challenged part concerned a final cantonal decision on first-instance costs that could not be reviewed by another federal remedy.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court held that a reform appeal was excluded since the issue turned on cantonal law, and the decision was final at cantonal level because appellate review replaced the opposition procedure for first-instance costs.
