Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the continued suspension of the permit applications constituted unlawful delay of justice under Art. 29(1) BV.
Decisione estratta
No unlawful delay: the suspension was justified as a temporary measure pending legislative clarification and did not breach the constitutional right to decision within a reasonable time.
Motivazione estratta
The court accepted that the suspension had the effect of a temporary refusal, but held that the balancing of interests favored preserving legislative freedom and avoiding irreversible market effects before the cantonal reform was settled.
