Key legal question
Whether the Administrative Court had jurisdiction over monetary claims arising from a terminated church employment relationship.
Extracted holding
The court's refusal to entertain the claim was not arbitrary; such claims fell within the church's internal remedies system under the applicable cantonal framework.
Extracted reasoning
The constitutional duty to ensure sufficient legal protection allowed the land church to decide employment-related monetary disputes by internal decisions subject to appeal, and splitting status and financial issues before different fora would undermine effective legal protection.
