Key legal question
Whether the appellant grid owners had standing to challenge the Federal Administrative Court judgment.
Extracted holding
They lacked standing because the earlier ElCom decision was final as against them and the appealed judgment affected only the party that had challenged that decision.
Extracted reasoning
The dispute before the Federal Administrative Court concerned only the legal relationship between swissgrid ag and the individual complainant. Other grid owners were not parties there, and the judgment could not extend beyond that dispute. The appellants were neither formally nor materially affected.
