Key legal question
Whether the constitutional complaint could challenge the cantonal decision as arbitrary because it allegedly ignored the legal effect of the distribution lists and time limits for a lien-ranking action.
Extracted holding
The complaint failed because the alleged facts were irrelevant to the decisive legal point; therefore the arbitrariness allegation could not affect the outcome.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court held that the waiver by the pledge creditors to challenge the municipality's claims, and the purported finality of the lien schedules, did not have the significance the appellant ascribed to them. Since the challenged facts were immaterial, the arbitrariness argument was futile.
