Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the communes had standing to complain as private persons under public-law appeal.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The road sections remained part of the public domain, so the communes were affected as public authorities, not like private individuals.
Extrahierte Begründung
Public-law appeal protects constitutional rights; communes may invoke it only exceptionally when acting like private persons or when relying on autonomy or territorial existence. Here the transfer concerned public domain roads and maintenance duties, not private patrimony.
