Question juridique clé
Whether the federal appeal was admissible despite the availability of a cantonal reconsideration request.
Solution extraite
The appeal was inadmissible because the appellant had not exhausted the cantonal remedies; the preserved right to seek reconsideration meant the cantonal instance still had to be seized first.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 86(1)(d) LTF, federal public-law appeal requires exhaustion of available cantonal remedies. Because the appellant's counsel could not be validly notified of the hearing and the cantonal court expressly reserved a reconsideration request, good faith required that court to re-examine the matter if seized.
