Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the Fribourg administrative court had jurisdiction under Art. 26 LAv over a dispute about attorney fees concerning an AI matter.
Decisione estratta
Yes. Under the coherent scheme of Arts. 25-29 LAv, disputes about attorney fees and costs relating to matters that were or could have been brought before the cantonal administrative jurisdiction belong to the administrative court, regardless of their private-law nature.
Motivazione estratta
The cantonal provisions create a special forum for fee disputes. Art. 25 LAv only characterizes the claim as private law; it does not exclude Art. 26(2) LAv. The attorney's claim concerned fees for work linked to an administrative appeal on disability insurance, so the administrative court had to enter into the matter.
