Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellants had standing to challenge the Federal Administrative Court judgment
Extrahierter Entscheid
They lacked standing because the appellate judgment affected only the legal relationship between swissgrid ag and the specific party that had appealed to the Federal Administrative Court; the appellants were neither procedurally nor materially affected by that judgment.
Extrahierte Begründung
The dispute before the Federal Administrative Court was limited to the legal relationship between swissgrid ag and the appealing network owner. The other network owners had not appealed the ElCom decision, which was final as to them. A general wording in the operative part could not expand the dispute beyond the object of the appeal.
