Key legal question
Whether the municipality had standing to complain of a violation of its autonomy
Extracted holding
Yes. The fee was based on communal law and the contested judgment reduced the fee fixed by the municipal executive, affecting the municipality in its sovereign capacity.
Extracted reasoning
A municipality may invoke autonomy where cantonal law leaves it discretion in the relevant field. Here the commune administered and levied the fee and was directly affected by the lower fee fixation.
