Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily assessed the facts and evidence, including the identity of the respondent and the relevance of alleged negotiations and payment periods.
Extracted holding
The challenged factual findings were not arbitrary; the misdescriptions or inaccuracies were not decisive, and the 1997 claim was already abandoned by the respondent.
Extracted reasoning
Review in public-law appeal is confined to the cantonally established facts absent constitutional defects; the alleged new facts were inadmissible, and the non-consideration of the prescribed 1997 claim did not affect the dispositive outcome.
