Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible and what legal remedy applied under the new Federal Supreme Court Act
Extracted holding
The filing, though mislabeled as a public-law appeal, was treated as a criminal appeal under the Federal Supreme Court Act.
Extracted reasoning
The challenged decision was rendered after 1 January 2007 and concerned criminal procedure, so the new act applied; mislabeling was irrelevant if formal requirements were met.
