Questão jurídica principal
Whether staatsrechtliche Beschwerde was the proper remedy against the cantonal judgment
Decisão extraída
Yes. The case concerned cantonal family allowances, so the ordinary federal remedy lay only by way of constitutional complaint; the Federal Insurance Court had no jurisdiction.
Fundamentação extraída
Cantons legislate autonomously on family allowances; the substantive basis remained cantonal law even if treaty norms had to be considered. Treaty violations may be raised under Art. 84(1)(c) OG.
