Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the remand judgment was admissible despite its interlocutory nature.
Extracted holding
The remand decision did not contain binding substantive instructions that would cause an irreparable legal disadvantage; therefore the appeal could not be heard.
Extracted reasoning
A remand is only challengeable when it binds the lower authority on the merits. Here, the Federal Administrative Court only ordered further clarification on possible equal treatment, without deciding the consequence of that review.
