Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal complied with the formal requirements of Art. 42 BGG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The filing of 28 October 2008 did not meet the minimum requirements because it lacked proper requests and a sufficient reasoned challenge.
Extrahierte Begründung
An appeal must state its prayers and, in brief form, explain how the challenged decision violates the law. The deficiency could only have been cured within the non-extendable appeal period.
