Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the public law appeal was admissible despite the absence of current and practical interest
Decisione estratta
The appellants lacked a sufficiently current and practical interest because the contested rent-control obligation would only take effect if the current lease ended; the appeal therefore concerned a hypothetical future situation.
Motivazione estratta
The decision affected the appellants only contingently. Given the tenant's continued presence and planned expansion in Lausanne, a short- or medium-term lease termination was not sufficiently probable. Entertaining the appeal would require deciding an essentially theoretical question.
