Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant was entitled to party compensation for representation by a non-lawyer in the cantonal administrative appeal
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The cantonal rule limiting compensation to lawyers or lawyer-equivalent representatives is constitutionally permissible.
Extrahierte Begründung
The distinction between representation entitlement and compensation entitlement rests on serious objective reasons; lawyers' licensed and supervised status justifies special treatment. No independent constitutional right to compensation for non-lawyer representatives exists.
