Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the municipality was entitled to appeal based on communal autonomy
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The municipality could invoke constitutional autonomy because the contested decision affected its exercise of public authority in the social welfare field.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that autonomy in applying cantonal social welfare law exists in the disputed area because the relevant provisions leave municipalities a relatively significant margin of appreciation, especially for sanctions and conditions.
