Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal was sufficiently reasoned despite the appellant's brief mainly referring to the AI office's submission.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because the incorporated submission met the federal motivation requirements and the reference to it was sufficiently explicit.
Extracted reasoning
Although the appellant's own brief was minimal, an unequivocal reference to a separately filed submission can satisfy Art. 42 LTF when that submission contains adequate reasons.
