Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal public-law court was entitled to decline jurisdiction over the patrimonial service-law claim after years of suspension.
Decisione estratta
The court should have ruled on its competence earlier; invoking lack of jurisdiction after eleven years violated good faith.
Motivazione estratta
Although the revised procedural statute had removed the action route for such claims, the court could not wait so long before deciding jurisdiction once the file had been transmitted.
