Key legal question
Whether claims exceeding the scope of the cantonal dispute were admissible before the Federal Court
Extracted holding
The complaint was inadmissible to the extent it pursued matters beyond the sole issue decided below, namely whether the 2003/2004 grant covered ten or twelve months.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court held that the cantonal proceedings concerned only the duration of the grant and that new claims about continuing entitlement after legislative change fell outside the dispute.
