Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal could be directed against the district council decision despite the devolutive effect of the cantonal court judgment.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The district council decision was no longer independently challengeable; only the cantonal court judgment was the proper object of appeal.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under the devolutive effect, the lower administrative decision was replaced by the cantonal court judgment, which alone entered the federal appeal chain.
