Key legal question
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible and the appellant had standing to challenge the fee.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible insofar as it concerned political rights, and the appellant had standing as first signatory and active citizen.
Extracted reasoning
The initiative right is protected by political rights; signature collection for an initiative therefore falls within Article 85(a) OG. The committee lacked legal personality, so the appellant could appeal individually.
