Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellants were entitled to challenge the cantonal family allowance act directly before the Federal Supreme Court and whether they had standing.
Decisão extraída
Direct review was available, the complaints were timely, and most appellants had standing; only the French-language press association lacked standing.
Fundamentação extraída
No cantonal remedy existed for abstract norm control. Employers and branch associations active in Schwyz were specially affected; the association whose membership was limited to western Switzerland was not sufficiently affected.
