Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal against the refusal to consider the recusal request was admissible.
Decisione estratta
The Federal Court held that the appeal was admissible only against the cantonal decision on the recusal request, but not insofar as it attacked the prior cantonal ruling involving the president of the criminal appeals court.
Motivazione estratta
Only a decision of the cantonal authority of last instance can be challenged; arguments directed at a non-appealed decision are inadmissible.
