Questão jurídica principal
Whether the federal civil appeal was admissible despite containing only a remand request and no substantive prayer.
Decisão extraída
The appeal was admissible because, if the appellant's legal view were accepted, the Federal Supreme Court could not decide the merits itself and would have to remand for further fact-finding.
Fundamentação extraída
A remand request suffices where the court would be unable to issue a final merits decision without additional factual clarification.
