Key legal question
Whether the administrative appeal to the Federal Supreme Court was admissible despite the procedural change in the appeal route.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible; the earlier procedural law governed the pending case, so the route was BUWAL -> UVEK -> Federal Supreme Court.
Extracted reasoning
Because no transitional rule existed, the court applied the former competence rules under perpetuatio fori and held that the challenged UVEK decision could be directly reviewed by administrative law appeal.
