Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court could declare the German-language appeal inadmissible for lack of translation into Italian.
Extracted holding
Yes. The cantonal court could require translation into the official cantonal language and, absent proof of indigence, refuse free translation.
Extracted reasoning
There is generally no right to address cantonal authorities in a non-official language. The appellant was given a suitable deadline to translate the filing and the court did not commit excessive formalism.
