Key legal question
Whether the administrative law appeal against the cantonal state-liability decision was admissible and timely
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible as a final federal-public-law decision and was filed within time.
Extracted reasoning
The cantonal ruling finally decided the conditions of liability under Art. 5 LP, so it was not merely interlocutory. The canton also had standing because it was directly affected in its patrimonial sphere.
