Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible and whether the Federal Court should decide it before the parallel constitutional complaint
Extracted holding
The Court departed from the usual suspension rule because the constitutional complaint could not affect the handling of the appeal.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 57 Abs. 5 OG suspension is the rule, but an exception applies where the constitutional complaint has no influence on the appeal or the appeal is resolvable on the existing factual findings.
