Questão jurídica principal
Whether the municipality could invoke autonomy and challenge the cantonal court's review of the building permit refusal.
Decisão extraída
The municipality was entitled to raise an autonomy complaint, but the Federal Supreme Court reviewed the alleged autonomy violation only for arbitrariness.
Fundamentação extraída
The disputed matter concerned cantonal planning law; municipal autonomy existed only to the extent the cantonal law left room for discretion. The federal court therefore limited itself to reviewing whether the cantonal court's application was arbitrary.
