Question juridique clé
Whether the federal appeal was admissible without a final cantonal decision
Solution extraite
No. Because the cantonal proceedings were still pending after remittal to the cantonal court, there was no final cantonal decision susceptible to federal review.
Motifs extraits
Ordinary federal remedies generally require a final cantonal decision. Since the Verwaltungsgericht did not decide the merits but transmitted the matter to the Obergericht, the cantonal instance chain was not exhausted.
