Key legal question
Whether the mistakenly filed administrative-law appeal was nevertheless admissible as a public-law appeal
Extracted holding
The filing could be converted into a public-law appeal because the decision rested on cantonal public law and the appellants were affected in their constitutional property interest.
Extracted reasoning
The administrative-law appeal was unavailable, but an incorrect remedy designation does not prejudice the parties if the submission satisfies the formal requirements of the available constitutional remedy.
