Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal against the Baukommission decision was admissible despite the canton being a party.
Solution extraite
The appeal was admissible; the canton was a party because the hospital works were handled by the cantonal building office, so the Verwaltungsgericht replaced the department as appellate instance.
Motifs extraits
The filing was timely and properly made. Under § 2 Abs. 4 KBV, the Verwaltungsgericht acts instead of the department when the state is involved; the appellant was sufficiently affected and therefore entitled to appeal.
