Key legal question
Whether the subsidiary constitutional complaint was admissible against the cantonal judgment.
Extracted holding
The complaint was admissible only as a subsidiary constitutional complaint because the ordinary public-law appeal was unavailable due to the amount in dispute and no issue of fundamental importance.
Extracted reasoning
The federal court has jurisdiction ex officio; the case was a final cantonal decision in a pecuniary public-employment matter, but the statutory threshold for the ordinary appeal was not met.
