Questão jurídica principal
Whether the canton’s response to a grace petition could be reviewed under federal law in this appeal
Decisão extraída
The counter-request by the departmental authority was inadmissible; only the affected condemned person could challenge the refusal in this context.
Fundamentação extraída
After the cantonal statute’s publication period, its conformity with federal law can only be reviewed incidentally in an appeal against a decision, and the department lacked standing to complain about the effect-suspension rule.
