Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the claim had to be treated as a direct administrative action before the Federal Supreme Court and whether joinder was admissible.
Extrahierter Entscheid

Extrahierte Begründung
Special federal rules on claims against the canton prevailed over the older general OG rules, and the two creditor claims were similar enough in fact and law for joinder.
