Key legal question
Whether the salary classification in A24/8 violated equality and cantonal salary rules
Extracted holding
The classification was lawful; the different education and limited deployability of transitional family judges justified lower pay than judges meeting Art. 26 GerG.
Extracted reasoning
The cantonal scheme distinguished between judges with the formal legal qualifications required by Art. 26 GerG and transitional family judges without such qualifications. That distinction was objective, based on education, experience, and broader deployability, and stayed within the canton’s wide margin of appreciation.
