Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court violated municipal autonomy by replacing the municipality's recalculation method for the sewage connection fee
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The federal court held that the lower court impermissibly interfered with municipal autonomy by substituting its own calculation method, which disregarded the cost-covering principle.
Extrahierte Begründung
The municipality retained broad discretion under cantonal law to fix fee criteria, subject to equivalence, cost coverage, and proper account of land use. The lower court's method would prevent full cost recovery and was inconsistent with a reasonable interpretation of the prior remittal judgment.
