Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the Federal Supreme Court could hear the appeal against the remand order.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The remand order was an independently appealable interim decision because it materially constrained the agency's discretion and could cause irreparable procedural prejudice.
Motivazione estratta
The canton’s ruling did not merely implement instructions; it pre-determined a substantive point on contribution-period exemption and could no longer effectively be corrected later.
