Key legal question
Whether the public-law appeal was sufficiently reasoned under Art. 90(1)(b) and Art. 85(a) OJ
Extracted holding
The appeal did not adequately challenge the Grand Council's reasoning, in particular the objection that the remaining programmatic provision could not stand alone.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court examines only sufficiently argued constitutional grievances. The appellant failed to address a central reasoning of the respondent authority, so the appeal lacked the required motivation.
