Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal was sufficiently reasoned and admissible given that it challenged the merits rather than the procedural issue before the court
Extracted holding
The submissions did not adequately address the subject of the proceedings or the lower court's reasoning, so the appeal was insufficiently reasoned.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 42(1)-(2) and Art. 106(2) BGG, the grounds must relate to the matter in dispute and specifically show a legal violation. The appellant mainly attacked the permit issue, while the real issue was timeliness of the cantonal appeal and the service fiction.
