Key legal question
Whether the constitutional complaint could challenge the cantonal appellate decision only, not the earlier decision of the Regierungsstatthalteramt.
Extracted holding
The complaint was admissible only against the Appellationshof decision; challenges directed at the Regierungsstatthalteramt decision were not reviewable.
Extracted reasoning
The challenged act in a constitutional complaint is the last cantonal decision. Earlier authority decisions fall outside the object of review.
