Key legal question
Whether the public law appeal is admissible against the Federal Administrative Court judgment concerning a provisionally extended telecom concession originally awarded by public tender.
Extracted holding
The appeal is inadmissible because Art. 83 lit. p no. 1 BGG excludes Federal Supreme Court review of decisions on concessions that were subject to public tender, including renewal and extension matters.
Extracted reasoning
The exclusion covers all matters forming part of the tendered concession, not only grant/refusal. A renewal or extension under Art. 19 FKV leaves the original concession essentially intact; allowing review then would defeat the purpose of the exclusion and the legislature's intent to avoid proceedings becoming moot in a rapidly changing sector.
