Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Federal Supreme Court had jurisdiction over the constitutional complaint against the cantonal hunting ordinance
Decisão extraída
Yes. The challenge concerned solely the compatibility of a cantonal rule with the equality guarantee in Art. 4 BV, which falls within the Court's competence under Art. 175 No. 3 OG.
Fundamentação extraída
Unlike earlier hunting cases involving an alleged conflict with federal hunting law, the appellant did not dispute the canton's power to regulate hunting conditions, but only the ordinance's conformity with constitutional equality.
