Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal hunting commission was properly composed when it decided the appeal.
Decisão extraída
No. A member who had remained in office after the expiry of his statutory term could no longer validly act as president, so the commission was not duly constituted.
Fundamentação extraída
The right to a lawful and properly composed tribunal under Art. 30(1) BV and Art. 6(1) ECHR requires compliance with the rules on composition. The president's twelve-year term had expired before the decision; no renewed election or special vacancy rule was shown to apply.
