Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the costs allocation in the remand decision was admissible
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because the challenged costs and compensation ruling in a remand decision could only be attacked together with the final judgment, which fully favored the appellants on the merits.
Extracted reasoning
A costs ruling in a remand decision is treated as an interlocutory decision under Art. 93 BGG and usually causes no irreparable harm; it may therefore be challenged only later with the appeal against the final decision.
