Key legal question
Whether the incorrectly labeled filing could be treated as a public-law appeal under the new Federal Supreme Court Act
Extracted holding
The filing was to be treated as a public-law appeal; the wrong label was irrelevant because the submission met the formal requirements of the available remedy.
Extracted reasoning
The impugned decision was issued after 1 January 2007, so the LTF applied. Although the old remedy of public-law appeal no longer existed, the Court examines its own jurisdiction ex officio and disregards an incorrect denomination if the act satisfies the applicable formal requirements.
