Questão jurídica principal
Whether the complainant had standing to appeal the bar commission's decision refusing to prohibit the lawyers from acting.
Decisão extraída
He had standing because a refusal to bar counsel in a concrete case directly affects the opposing party's procedural position and the ability to be represented by counsel of choice.
Fundamentação extraída
The Court held that a ban on acting in a specific case is not disciplinary in nature but concerns the lawyer's capacity to act. Unlike disciplinary complaints, the affected party is directly and concretely touched and has a protected interest under Art. 89(1) LTF. The cantonal court therefore applied Art. 111 LTF too narrowly.
