Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the public canton had standing to file a public-law appeal against the cantonal judgment
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The canton acted as owner in a private-law landlord-tenant relationship and could appeal under the public-law remedy rules.
Extrahierte Begründung
A public authority may appeal when it acts as a private-law party or is affected like a private person; the legal nature of the dispute is decisive.
