Key legal question
Whether a reform appeal is admissible against a prior decision of a Federal Tribunal chamber
Extracted holding
A reform appeal cannot be brought against a decision rendered by a chamber of the Federal Tribunal; that route is open only against decisions of cantonal courts or comparable lower authorities.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 48 OJ limits the reform appeal to cantonal supreme courts or, exceptionally, certain lower cantonal courts. It does not apply to decisions of the Federal Tribunal itself.
