Key legal question
Whether the appeals were admissible and the parties had standing to challenge the Federal Administrative Court judgment
Extracted holding
The appellants were entitled to appeal and the Federal Supreme Court entered into the case, subject to the limits on challenging fact findings.
Extracted reasoning
As importers, sellers, operators, or lessors of the machines, the appellants were directly affected by the ESBK underclassification decision. The attacks on the findings of fact were insufficiently substantiated.
