Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible despite the absence of a cantonal judicial last instance under Art. 98a OG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal could not be examined on the merits because the dispute should first have been decided by a cantonal judicial authority.
Extrahierte Begründung
Because the matter was directly appealable to the Federal Supreme Court under federal administrative-law rules, Art. 98a OG required the Canton to provide a judicial last instance; the governmental decision was therefore attacked without exhaustion of cantonal instances.
