Question juridique clé
Whether the administrative law appeal against the cantonal judgment was admissible despite the interlocutory nature of the cost allocation.
Solution extraite
The decision was an interlocutory decision, but it caused irreparable harm because it imposed nearly CHF 40,000 in investigation costs; the appeal was therefore admissible.
Motifs extraits
The provisional allocation of investigation costs is comparable to an advance on costs pending the final allocation under environmental law, and the payment burden creates an irreparable economic prejudice.
