Key legal question
Whether the appellant's contractual or public-law claims against the canton were time-barred because prescription began when his active cooperation ended.
Extracted holding
The claims became due no later than August 1988, when his active cooperation with the authorities ended; prescription therefore began then.
Extracted reasoning
The record supported the cantonal court's finding that later contacts were only occasional logistical support. The appellant's evidence did not show continued active collaboration after 1988.
