Question juridique clé
Whether the award of a hunting area under the new Hunting Act is challengeable under § 20 VRG.
Solution extraite
Yes. The award of a hunting district is a sovereign concession decision and therefore an appealable decision under § 20 VRG.
Motifs extraits
The canton acts as holder of the hunting regale, not as a private person. Although the law speaks of leasing by public-law contract, the content is fixed unilaterally by the authority, there is no true contractual freedom, and the legal scheme leaves room for review of the award decision. The legislative materials do not show any intent to abolish judicial review.
