Questão jurídica principal
Whether the constitutional complaint against Thurgau was timely despite the cantonal authority issuing a non-formal rejection of the objection
Decisão extraída
The complaint was timely; the Thurgau letter of 2004-08-10 was treated as an objection decision and could be challenged within 30 days.
Fundamentação extraída
Although not formally labeled as a decision and lacking legal remedies instructions, the letter clearly expressed the authority's will not to enter into the objection, and all elements of a decision were present. Older case law allows a complaint against a non-entry decision where no other path to a merits decision exists.
