Key legal question
Whether the cantonal office had standing to file a public law appeal against the cantonal judgment on a work permit under the Foreign Nationals Act.
Extracted holding
No standing was shown under Art. 89(2)(d) BGG because the AuG contains no provision granting such a right to a cantonal office.
Extracted reasoning
The office did not identify any federal-law basis for appeal. Standing under the general clause of Art. 89(1) BGG was not substantiated and, in any event, would belong to the public entity as such, not merely to one office absent an express cantonal authorization.
