Kernrechtsfrage
Which authority is competent to hear an appeal against a road cooperative decision on subsidized farm road construction?
Extrahierter Entscheid
The Government Council is competent, because § 98 StrG applies also to decisions on the construction of subsidized farm roads and overrides the general rule in § 96 LaV.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court read § 98 StrG as a special rule governing appeals against decisions of road cooperatives. Since no reason exists to treat decisions on subsidized farm roads differently from the other cooperative decisions listed there, the appeal lies to the Government Council rather than the Economic Affairs Department.
