Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the federal appeal against the cantonal interlocutory decision was admissible despite being mislabelled and despite its incidental nature.
Decisione estratta
The appeal was admissible because the matter concerned public-law employment claims and the alleged delay created irreparable harm under the constitutional right to a hearing within a reasonable time.
Motivazione estratta
The underlying employment relationship was governed by public law; the value in dispute exceeded the statutory threshold. A complaint about present and persisting delay satisfies the irreparable-harm requirement for an interlocutory decision.
