Key legal question
Whether a decision not to re-elect a civil servant is an appealable administrative act.
Extracted holding
Yes. A non-re-election decision constitutes an administrative order and may be challenged by administrative court appeal.
Extracted reasoning
Although the office term ends by constitutional principle, the newer doctrine and the cantonal re-election regulation treat the employment relationship as ending only if re-election is expressly refused by decision. That makes the non-re-election a Verfügung under § 20 VRG.
