Questão jurídica principal
Whether the municipality was entitled to bring an appeal in public law matters on the basis of municipal autonomy.
Decisão extraída
The municipality was entitled to appeal under the constitutional-autonomy clause because it was affected in its sovereign capacity and invoked an arguable autonomy interest.
Fundamentação extraída
For standing, it is enough that the municipality claims autonomy in a matter affecting its exercise of public authority; whether autonomy actually exists is a merits question.
