Key legal question
Whether the Federal Supreme Court had jurisdiction over the complaint seeking a finding of violation of the specialty reservation and an order to issue a formal decision.
Extracted holding
The complaint was not admissible before the Federal Supreme Court; the matter had to be reviewed first by the EJPD as supervisory authority.
Extracted reasoning
The requested relief aimed at a Swiss intervention concerning an alleged violation of the specialty reservation in mutual legal assistance; under settled practice, administrative appeal to the Federal Supreme Court is generally unavailable in such matters. The EJPD is the competent supervisory authority over the Federal Office of Justice.
