Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal refusal to award party compensation despite the appellant's mainly successful appeal was arbitrary.
Decisione estratta
The denial of party compensation was not arbitrary because § 30 VRPG permits deviation from the loser-pays rule, including on a causation basis.
Motivazione estratta
Cantonal law leaves costs allocation to discretion in justified cases. Applying the causation principle is permissible where the appellant's own conduct caused unnecessary proceedings and costs.
