Kernrechtsfrage
Whether provisional measures could temporarily authorize exploitation of five gaming machines pending appeal.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The request was properly refused because provisional measures cannot circumvent the substantive rule allocating authorization competence to the cantons.
Extrahierte Begründung
The cantonal refusal had become final; the federal gaming commission had no own power to authorize exploitation in place of the cantons, so interim relief would have contradicted the material law.
