Key legal question
How are competing applications for a hunting lease to be assessed under § 4(3) AJSG?
Extracted holding
The award depends on a прогнозative assessment of future hunting performance using qualitative criteria; the best-suited hunting society is to be selected.
Extracted reasoning
The statute requires public tendering and allows all suitable hunting societies to apply. Where two or more applications exist, preference goes to the society that better secures the hunting tasks, in particular based on past hunting practice, ties to the territory, and age structure. The legislature thus opted for a comparative suitability assessment rather than a purely formal preference.
