Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the trade association had standing to participate as a party in the cantonal proceedings against Zur Rose Suisse AG.
Decisione estratta
No. The association failed to show the specific closeness required for competitor standing; alleging unlawful supervisory practice or unequal treatment was insufficient.
Motivazione estratta
A mere interest in correct enforcement of health-law rules does not create standing. Competitor standing requires a legally relevant special relationship; here the relevant provisions did not regulate market competition in that sense, and the alleged privilege of the respondent did not go beyond a claim of incorrect application of general rules.
