Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal was admissible against the cantonal departmental decision itself
Decisão extraída
Only the cantonal administrative court judgment could be challenged before the Federal Court; the appeal was inadmissible to the extent it sought direct annulment of the departmental decision.
Fundamentação extraída
The last cantonal decision is the judicial judgment, not the department's administrative decision; the latter is only reviewed indirectly.
