Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the company had standing to appeal the objection decision after the objection hearing protocol.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The company remained formally aggrieved because the hearing protocol was only a settlement basis and did not amount to a withdrawal of the objection or appeal.
Extrahierte Begründung
An objection hearing may lead to a factual settlement, but such an understanding has no automatic substantive effect and does not replace the formal decision. Acceptance of individual assessment items cannot be treated as a partial withdrawal absent an express declaration; otherwise legal remedies could be lost without certainty that the authorities will adhere to their promises.
