Key legal question
Whether the federal complaint was admissible against the cantonal government's decision on the building-permit question
Extracted holding
The complaint was inadmissible because the challenged decision was not issued by the last cantonal judicial instance required under Art. 86 BGG.
Extracted reasoning
For matters previously subject to direct federal administrative judicial review, the transitional rule of Art. 130 BGG does not dispense with the requirement that a cantonal court be the final instance. The cantonal government is not a court, and the appeal route bypassed the competent administrative court.
