Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal in civil matters was admissible, including the debtor's declaratory requests.
Decisione estratta
The appeal was admissible in principle, but the declaratory requests were inadmissible because they were subsidiary to performance claims and insufficiently substantiated.
Motivazione estratta
A final cantonal debt-recovery decision with value above the threshold allows the remedy. Declaratory relief cannot be sought where the relevant questions can be examined incidentally in the release proceedings and where no properly reasoned showing under Art. 42(2) BGG was made.
