Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal in civil matters was admissible against the district court judgment
Decisão extraída
The Federal Supreme Court held that the judgment was a final cantonal decision in a civil matter and the appeal in civil matters was in principle available.
Fundamentação extraída
The case concerned guardianship; the district court decision was final at cantonal level, and the absence of an upper cantonal court did not prevent federal review.
