Questione giuridica chiave
Whether employees of a public-law forestry entity are excluded from bad weather compensation because the employer is a public body
Decisione estratta
No. Public employment alone does not exclude entitlement; the forestry workers were eligible.
Motivazione estratta
The relevant provisions do not contain an explicit exclusion. Precedent holds that public-sector employees generally fall within the circle of beneficiaries. The municipality had no tax sovereignty for financing these wages and functioned in forestry like a private enterprise, so the compensation did not replace tax-funded public expenditure.
