Question juridique clé
Whether the subsidiary constitutional complaint is admissible without a final cantonal decision.
Solution extraite
It is inadmissible because municipal assembly decisions must first be appealed to the Bernese Regierungsstatthalter; no final cantonal decision existed.
Motifs extraits
Subsidiary constitutional complaints and public-law appeals lie only against decisions of the last cantonal instance. Bernese law provides an appeal to the Regierungsstatthalter against municipal assembly decisions, and the appellant had been informed of this remedy.
