Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the interlocutory ruling on passive standing was admissible under Art. 50 OG.
Extracted holding
Yes. The appeal could be heard immediately because deciding it would bring about a final judgment and avoid a lengthy evidentiary procedure on damages.
Extracted reasoning
A favorable decision for the appellant would result in dismissal of the action and make a wide-ranging damages proof unnecessary, satisfying Art. 50(1) OG.
