Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal met the federal substantiation requirements under the Federal Supreme Court Act
Solution extraite
No. The filing did not explain, by reference to the cantonal court's reasoning, which constitutional rights were violated and how.
Motifs extraits
The Court held that when a cantonal-law-based decision is challenged, mere violation of cantonal law is not enough; a party must specifically plead constitutional violations and comply with the qualified reasoning requirement. The appeal plainly failed to do so.
