Key legal question
Whether the cantonal decision was reviewable by administrative-law appeal and whether the cantonal court needed full review power
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible, but any defect in the cantonal standard of review did not warrant annulment because the cantonal court in substance examined the federal issues and the Federal Court could fully review the law point.
Extracted reasoning
The challenged decision was based on federal law (LLCA) and fell outside the OJ exclusion clauses. Although Article 98a OJ required a cantonal judicial authority with full review power, the Federal Court considered the concrete reasoning sufficient and noted that no prejudice was shown.
