Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the federal appeal against the cantonal judgment was admissible.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was admissible as a final cantonal decision in a matter of public law outside the exceptions of Art. 83 BGG, and the appellant had standing under Art. 89(1) BGG.
Extrahierte Begründung
The dispute concerned rights under a public-law contract linked to subsidies; therefore the ordinary public-law appeal route was open.
