Questão jurídica principal

Decisão extraída
The challenge to the department's decision was inadmissible because it was not a final cantonal instance decision.
Fundamentação extraída
Only the judgment of the cantonal administrative court was a final cantonal decision; the earlier departmental decision could not be attacked directly under Art. 86 BGG.
