Questione giuridica chiave
Admissibility of the public-law appeal and the municipality's standing to appeal
Decisione estratta
The appeal was admissible because the dispute was pecuniary and the municipality had standing based on its autonomy and its position analogous to a private employer.
Motivazione estratta
The employee sought, at least subsidiarily, monetary relief; therefore Art. 83 let. g LTF did not bar the appeal. The municipality could invoke its autonomy in personnel matters and also Art. 89 al. 1 LTF.
