Key legal question
Whether the standeskommission violated separation of powers by directing the appellate court to decide on the admissibility of the appeal itself.
Extracted holding
No constitutional violation occurred; the commission correctly held that the higher civil court must decide whether the appeal was validly lodged.
Extracted reasoning
The commission did not intrude into judicial functions but expressly left the admissibility question to the competent court. This accorded with the Federal Court's prior case law, especially Suter.
