Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the Morcote gas distribution convention falls under the Ticino Municipalization Act (LMSP) as a public-service concession requiring approval.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The convention concerns a municipalizable public service and thus required approval under Art. 35 LMSP.
Motivazione estratta
The Court held that the broad statutory terms 'public-interest service' and 'public-interest enterprise' intentionally leave room for case-by-case assessment. The exclusive, territory-wide gas distribution arrangement, its public-use purpose, monopoly-like features, and concessionary rights supported classification as a public-service concession.
