Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal administrative commission was still competent to decide a recusal request against the district judge after the final decision had been issued.
Decisione estratta
Yes, refusing jurisdiction in this constellation was arbitrary; the commission should have entered on the recusal request.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the rationale for shifting recusal arguments to the ordinary appeal only applies where a cantonal appeal is available. Where only a federal remedy exists, denying the administrative recusal forum leaves the party without an effective cantonal path and is not supported by the cited practice.
