Question juridique clé
Whether the Tierversuchskommission and its members could participate as parties before the Federal Supreme Court
Solution extraite
They were not parties; only further participants under Article 102 BGG, because no federal standing existed and the individual members lacked a legally protected interest.
Motifs extraits
The commission had standing only under cantonal law in the lower proceedings; that did not make it a party at federal level. The members were not personally and specially affected by the cantonal decision.
