Key legal question
Whether the appeals were admissible and whether the Federal Office could seek a declaratory ruling.
Extracted holding
The appeals were admissible, but the Federal Office had no protected interest in a declaratory request because a performance decision could be issued; the separate challenge to the original administrative order was inadmissible due to the devolutive effect.
Extracted reasoning
The Supreme Court accepted jurisdiction under the relevant federal procedural provisions and limited review to the challenged appellate judgment.
