Key legal question
Whether the Federal Court may hear an administrative appeal against the cantonal decision striking the appeal as moot and deciding only costs in an MLAT interim order matter.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the challenged decision was an interlocutory cost decision, not a final MLAT decision or an inadmissible non-entry ruling.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 80f IRSG, interim MLAT measures are only exceptionally challengeable; here the objection concerned solely the cost allocation after the substantive issue had become moot. Such cost decisions can be reviewed together with an appeal against the final MLAT decision.
