Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal was admissible and whether the appellant could seek annulment of the Directorate's decision directly.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible against the final cantonal judgment only; due to the devolutive effect, the direct request to set aside the Directorate's decision could not be granted.
Extracted reasoning
Only the last cantonal decision is challengeable before the Federal Supreme Court, while earlier decisions are deemed included in substance.
