Der öffentlich-rechtliche Auftrag

The community enters into a variety of legal relationships concerning labor performance with private entities. When these are assigned to public law, they usually involve public service contracts. It is often overlooked that the state can also enter into other types of legal relationships regarding labor performance, in addition to public employment relationships. This includes the public law contract, which is the public law counterpart to the simple contract according to Articles 394 et seq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations. This dissertation examines the public law contract through practical examples from an administrative law dogmatic perspective and legally categorizes it with regard to various questions from administrative organizational, substantive law, procedural law, and social security law viewpoints.
