Key legal question
Whether the administrative appeal against the cantonal appellate judgment was admissible in part only against the last cantonal decision.
Extracted holding
The federal appeal was admissible only against the cantonal appellate judgment; to the extent it challenged earlier cantonal decisions, the court would not enter into it.
Extracted reasoning
Under the Federal Judiciary Act, administrative appeal lies only against final cantonal decisions; earlier lower-level decisions are not directly challengeable.
