Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the canton had standing to appeal the Bundesverwaltungsgericht judgment.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The canton had standing both as the operating entity of the pension funds and because it challenged the annulment of a cantonal rule affecting its legislative competence.
Extrahierte Begründung
It acted for legally unincorporated pension funds and also defended its own normative authority; the finance department was duly empowered by the government.
