Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the doctors had standing to challenge the cantonal decision before the cantonal government.
Decisione estratta
The doctors were direct addressees of the department's order and therefore had party status and standing, even though they had not filed submissions in the first-instance administrative proceedings.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the doctors were materially and directly affected by the order regulating the shipping model. Beiladung did not apply to persons who had to be included as main parties. Cantonal law did not require an active first-instance filing as a condition for later appeal; denying standing was arbitrary and also violated the right to be heard.
