Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the transitional period under Art. 86(2) and Art. 130(3) BGG had expired so that the cantonal administrative court had to hear the appeal under Art. 29a BV.
Decisione estratta
No. The relevant date is the date of the challenged cantonal decision, when the transition period had not yet expired.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the legality of the judicial remedy is assessed by reference to the date of the appealed decision, here the Regierungsrat's decision of 17 December 2008. At that time the two-year transition period for designating upper cantonal courts had not yet elapsed, so Art. 29a BV did not compel entry.
