Questão jurídica principal
Whether a civil servant may be re-elected only provisionally under Solothurn law.
Decisão extraída
Yes. A provisional reelection is in principle permissible if the authority has substantive reasons and follows a procedure comparable to that for non-reelection.
Fundamentação extraída
A civil servant who refrains from resignation consents in advance only to an unrestricted reelection, but may still reject a reelection with conditions; if rejected, the conditional reelection is ineffective. Solothurn civil service law knows the institution of provisional appointment, and this concept may also be used for reelections. The legal basis is not confined to first appointments. Equal treatment is not violated, and the reference to a 'sanction' does not turn the measure into a disciplinary penalty.
