Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Federal Supreme Court could hear the interstate competence dispute between the cantons
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The dispute was admissible as a public-law interstate conflict and the applicant canton had a current legal interest.
Extrahierte Begründung
Although the conflict arose from rules in private law, they governed public-law competence questions; therefore the state-law action under Art. 83 lit. b OG was available.
