Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible despite the alleged lack of current practical interest
Extracted holding
The appellant could invoke a protected interest to challenge the denial of standing and the resulting alleged formal denial of justice; the appeal was admissible in that respect.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Supreme Court held that a party may always complain that a lower court wrongly denied standing, because this concerns a formal denial of justice. For the substantive measure itself, a current practical interest is generally required, with only narrow exceptions.
