Question juridique clé
Whether cantonal law, rather than Art. 55 VwVG, governed suspensive effect in the cantonal appeal procedure
Solution extraite
Cantonal law governed; the canton could provide that appeals have no suspensive effect unless expressly ordered.
Motifs extraits
For final cantonal instances acting under federal public law, Art. 1(3) VwVG does not require application of Art. 55(1) VwVG. Basel-Stadt validly adopted a different procedural rule in § 17 of its administrative procedure law.
