Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the federal public-law appeal was admissible despite lack of exhaustion of cantonal remedies.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was inadmissible because the appellant had already seized the cantonal administrative-law court, so the cantonal instances were not exhausted.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 86 LTF, a federal public-law appeal requires a final cantonal decision. The challenged DCERH decision was not a final cantonal judicial decision, and the exception for decisions with predominant political character did not apply.
