Questão jurídica principal
Whether the canton had standing to appeal the Bundesverwaltungsgericht judgment.
Decisão extraída
The canton had standing both as the operating entity of the pension funds and because it challenged the annulment of a cantonal rule affecting its legislative competence.
Fundamentação extraída
It acted for legally unincorporated pension funds and also defended its own normative authority; the finance department was duly empowered by the government.
