Key legal question
Whether the public-law appeal against the Federal Administrative Court judgment was admissible and well founded
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible in principle but manifestly unfounded; it was dismissed insofar as it could be considered.
Extracted reasoning
The case did not fall under Art. 83 lit. l BGG. The appellant's brief barely met Art. 42 BGG requirements, but this could be left open because the appeal was manifestly unfounded under Art. 109 BGG. The Federal Administrative Court's reasoning on the scope of review, refusal of an oral hearing, advance-cost duty, consequences of non-payment, and denial of reinstatement did not violate federal law.
