Key legal question
Whether a constitutional complaint is admissible against the costs and compensation ruling contained in a remand decision.
Extracted holding
The complaint is inadmissible because such a costs decision in a remand order does not ordinarily cause irreparable harm and can be challenged later after the new cantonal proceedings.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 87(2) OG, an interim decision is only open to constitutional complaint if it may cause irreparable harm. The court held that cost and compensation rulings in remand decisions generally do not meet that threshold, since they can be attacked together with the later final decision or, if necessary, directly after a lower-court decision.
