Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal satisfied the statutory reasoning requirements against a non-entry decision
Extracted holding
No. The appeal did not specifically engage with the grounds for non-entry and therefore lacked a legally sufficient reasoned challenge.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 42(1) and (2) BGG, a remedy must state requests and reasons; where a non-entry decision is attacked, the appellant must specifically explain why the lower court should have entered into the case. The submissions only addressed the merits and did not show why the cantonal court’s non-entry was unlawful.
