The court confirmed an administrative fine of CHF 1,500 imposed on a restaurant operator who had neither the required operating authorization nor the capacity certificate. It held that operating an establishment without fulfilling the applicable authorization requirements justified the penalty.

Where the factual prerequisites of the authorization regime are absent, the sanction is confirmed if no lawful basis for operation is shown.
