Key legal question
Whether the provisional construction contribution claim was time-barred
Extracted holding
No. The cantonal court could hold that the cantonal law contains no prescription period for the right to levy sewer construction contributions, and the case-law analogy proposed by the appellant was not mandatory.
Extracted reasoning
The law regulates only the prescription of instalments and enforcement security, not the time limit for levying the contribution itself. Unlike the betterment contribution statute, the sewer-contribution statute expressly excludes application of that statute. The long-term, global financing of sewer networks justifies different treatment from single public works.
