Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the public-law appeal against the cantonal general regulation was admissible and timely, and whether the appellants had standing.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was admissible in principle, timely, and both the engineer and the association had standing; requests beyond annulment were inadmissible because the remedy is cassatory.
Extrahierte Begründung
Direct review of general cantonal norms is allowed under the federal procedural rules; the engineer was directly affected professionally, and the association could defend members' interests. However, the public-law appeal cannot be used to order the cantonal authority to replace the provision with court-drafted wording.
