Question juridique clé
Whether the deadline for filing the federal public-law appeal should be restored after an incorrect legal-remedy instruction.
Solution extraite
Yes. The misleading instruction and the subsequent timely filing of both the restoration request and the appeal justified restitution of the missed deadline.
Motifs extraits
The decision being challenged incorrectly stated that an administrative appeal to the cantonal administrative court was available. That error was not obvious even to a legally trained representative, so the municipality was prevented without fault from filing the constitutional appeal in time. It complied with the ten-day requirement and simultaneously performed the omitted act.
