Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal judgment ordering issuance of an A taxi permit violated municipal autonomy.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The municipal autonomy argument failed; the judgment did not unlawfully interfere with the municipality's autonomy because the municipality had to act consistently with economic freedom and equal treatment, and the order left legal permit requirements and local implementation room intact.
Extrahierte Begründung
The municipality had autonomy in regulating public-ground use by taxis, but that autonomy was limited by constitutional guarantees, especially economic freedom. The existing permit practice and refusal to address the scarcity problem were incompatible with a coherent, transparent and objective allocation system. Ordering one permit for 2009 was not arbitrary or disproportionate.
