Key legal question
Whether the immediate termination of the public employment was justified by cause.
Extracted holding
The repeated authorization of private payments from the office fees account, without transparent arrangements and over a long period, seriously breached loyalty duties and destroyed the trust relationship, making continuation of employment intolerable.
Extracted reasoning
The court found no arbitrariness in the cantonal court's assessment of the facts or in its conclusion that the conduct constituted an important reason under the cantonal personnel act, applied in analogy to the rules on immediate termination.
