Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Federal Supreme Court could entertain a Verwaltungsgerichtsbeschwerde alleging legal delay and denial of justice.
Decisão extraída
The remedy was admissible to the extent it challenged legal delay in a federal public-law matter; other supervision-related complaints were not for the Court to decide.
Fundamentação extraída
Legal delay is a form of formal denial of justice under Art. 29 BV and may be reviewed where administrative judicial review is otherwise available. The Court limited its review to the delay allegation and declined to enter on the remaining supervisory grievances.
