Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the assistance proceedings should be suspended pending reconsideration by the Swiss central office
Extrahierter Entscheid
Suspension was unnecessary because the office had already responded and the case was ready for judgment.
Extrahierte Begründung
The office had taken a position on 20 August 2004 based on the requesting state’s communication, excluding reconsideration; no basis remained to stay the case.
