Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the refusal to grant the attorney patent without the remaining examinations violated freedom of trade and industry and the legality principle.
Decisione estratta
The refusal was based on cantonal law and a permissible discretionary assessment of practical experience; no unconstitutional violation was shown.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the exam requirement serves public protection and that an exemption may be granted only when long practical experience demonstrates equivalent suitability. The applicant's work mainly in one administrative field did not make the refusal arbitrary.
