Question juridique clé
Whether the Federal Court had jurisdiction over the complaint concerning application of the federal medical-freedom legislation and transitional constitutional provisions.
Solution extraite
The Federal Court lacked jurisdiction; complaints about the application of the federal legislation on freedom of medical personnel had to be decided by the Federal Council and Federal Assembly.
Motifs extraits
Art. 59(2) no. 8 of the federal judicial organization act assigns complaints concerning application of federal legislation under Art. 33 of the Federal Constitution to the Federal Council and Federal Assembly. The medical-freedom act of 19 December 1877 was enacted in execution of Art. 33, so the asserted entitlement fell within that special competence.
