Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the canton had standing to appeal under Art. 89 LTF against the cantonal judgment on the gaming revenue share.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The canton was not affected like a private party and was not sufficiently affected in its sovereign prerogatives or protected public interests; therefore it lacked standing.
Extrahierte Begründung
The agreement with the casino was concluded in the context of the canton’s public-law powers and merely fixed the 3% revenue share. The disputed amount was not an important patrimonial interest and did not finance legal obligations of the public authorities, so neither Art. 89(1) nor Art. 89(2)(d) LTF conferred standing.
