Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Department's letter refusing incorporation into the cantonal police is a reviewable administrative decision
Decisão extraída
Yes. The refusal concretely and bindingly rejected an asserted right and therefore constituted a negative decision.
Fundamentação extraída
A decision exists whenever an authority issues a binding act in an individual case. The refusal had to be formalized under public law and blocked the applicant's claim, so it fell within the statutory definition of a decision.
