Question juridique clé
Whether the commune was properly represented and had standing to appeal on autonomy grounds.
Solution extraite
The commune was validly represented by its communal executive; it had standing to invoke communal autonomy under federal law.
Motifs extraits
The court left open whether the social assistance commission itself could represent the commune, because the communal executive may represent the commune externally and sign acts binding it; the commune could invoke autonomy even if the scope of that autonomy was disputed on the merits.
