Key legal question
Whether UBS had standing to appeal the mutual legal assistance measures
Extracted holding
UBS was not directly affected within the meaning of Art. 80h AIMP and therefore lacked standing.
Extracted reasoning
A bank that is only required to produce customer account documents and provide related information is not entitled to appeal merely because bank secrecy or property interests are implicated indirectly. The prior decision allowing standing was based on outdated practice; the revised AIMP/OAIMP regime tightened standing requirements.
