Key legal question
Whether the moral-damages claims added only in the complementary brief were admissible before the Federal Administrative Court.
Extracted holding
No. The request for additional moral damages was introduced after the statutory appeal period and could not expand the original object of the appeal.
Extracted reasoning
Under the Administrative Procedure Act, the appeal must contain the conclusions within the legal time limit. A later time granted to complete the reasoning does not extend the appeal period and cannot be used to add new or enlarged claims.
