Key legal question
Whether the federal complaint satisfied the statutory reasoning requirements of Art. 42 BGG and Art. 106(2) BGG.
Extracted holding
The complaint did not meet the mandatory reasoning requirements because it failed to set out, in a clear and specific manner, how the cantonal decision violated constitutional rights; mere references to other proceedings and documents were insufficient.
Extracted reasoning
For appeals against cantonal decisions applying cantonal law, a mere allegation of wrong cantonal-law application is not enough. Constitutional violations must be specifically and clearly pleaded in the complaint itself; the court does not examine such grievances ex officio.
