Question juridique clé
Whether the public-law challenge could seek abstract annulment of Art. 19a LESPA, Art. 15c RELESPA, and the 1996 circular
Solution extraite
No. The provisions could only be reviewed concretely insofar as they formed the basis of the contested decision, so abstract annulment claims were inadmissible.
Motifs extraits
The time limit for abstract review had expired; the Federal Court can only examine the norms incidentally in the appeal against the concrete subsidy decision, not invalidate the norms themselves.
