Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the SGV committed a denial of justice by not formally re-issuing or reopening the damage assessment after its final payment and subsequent correspondence.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No denial of justice arose because X. and, at the latest, his lawyer had to understand from the SGV's letters that the matter was closed and to request a formal appealable decision in due time; the later request was untimely.
Extrahierte Begründung
When there is uncertainty whether a letter is an appealable decision, the party must act diligently and seek clarification promptly. Here, the representative knew the relevant correspondence and could not wait months after the SGV expressly stated that the matter was concluded.
