Key legal question
Whether the appeal against procedural orders in the unsealing proceedings was admissible under Art. 93 para. 1 lit. a BGG
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the challenged orders were merely procedural and caused no irreparable legal harm that could not be remedied by a later appeal against the unsealing decision.
Extracted reasoning
Procedural orders in unsealing proceedings are generally not separately appealable. The court found that the contested orders did not finally decide access to protected information or the appellant's procedural status; those matters would be decided in the final unsealing ruling. The appellant could raise his objections then, so no irreparable harm was shown.
