Key legal question
Whether the social service had standing to appeal the departmental decision
Extracted holding
The social service itself was not party-capable and lacked active standing; no valid delegation from the municipality or specific statutory basis existed.
Extracted reasoning
Authorities and their organs are not, absent special rules, capable of appealing in their own name. The service was only an inter-municipal body; the appeal had to be brought by the competent municipality, but no delegation or special authorization was shown.
