Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal decision admitting the prefect’s recusal in a building-permit opposition case was lawful
Extrahierter Entscheid
No objective circumstances justified an appearance of bias; the recusal decision violated constitutional and cantonal guarantees and had to be annulled.
Extrahierte Begründung
The former employment of the commune’s secretary at the prefecture ended before the permit application was filed and, without concrete objective indications of tension affecting impartiality, did not create an appearance of partiality.
