Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the administrative appeal against the cantonal decision on civil-party status and file access was admissible
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was in principle available in this type of parallel criminal and mutual-assistance setting, but the challenged decision was an incidental decision requiring immediate appeal.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court followed its Abacha and Bagudu case-law: where the same authority conducts the mutual-assistance execution and a closely connected criminal case, and disclosure in the criminal case could prejudice the mutual-assistance process, administrative appeal is in principle open. However, under Art. 80e let. b EIMP incidental decisions are separately appealable only if they cause irreparable harm. That threshold was met in principle by the risk of premature disclosure, but timeliness remained decisive.
