Key legal question
Whether the cantonal finding that no valid board election occurred was arbitrary under Article 9 of the Federal Constitution.
Extracted holding
The cantonal court’s conclusion was not manifestly untenable because the minutes did not record a valid election and the contrary explanations did not make the result arbitrary.
Extracted reasoning
Willfulness requires an obviously untenable result, not merely another plausible view. Given the minutes and the unclear testimony, the inference that no valid election occurred was defensible.
