Question juridique clé
Whether the appellants had standing to challenge the election of a judge to the Judicial Council.
Solution extraite
They lacked standing because they were not personally and sufficiently affected by the election and had no legally protected interest in its annulment or modification.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 89(1) LTF, a party must be particularly affected and have a protected interest. A litigant in pending cantonal proceedings, and even a cantonal lawyer, is not sufficiently affected by the election of one judge by other magistrates to a supervisory body.
