Key legal question
Whether the Federal Supreme Court could hear a complaint alleging denial of justice in a data-protection matter.
Extracted holding
Yes. Because the alleged delayed or refused decision concerned data protection, the remedy was admissible as a public law appeal under Art. 82 LTF in connection with Art. 94 LTF.
Extracted reasoning
The court determines the available remedy by reference to the subject matter of the allegedly delayed or denied decision; here, the matter fell within public law.
