Key legal question
Whether the cantonal OHG authority was bound by the criminal court's moral-damages award to the victim.
Extracted holding
The authority was not bound on the legal question of whether the criminally awarded moral damages were adequate; it had to assess the OHG claim independently.
Extracted reasoning
The criminal judgment may be persuasive on facts, but legal questions under OHG remain open for independent review. The administrative authority may not abdicate its own legal assessment by relying solely on the criminal award.
