Key legal question
Whether the federal civil appeal was admissible despite containing only a remand request and no substantive prayer.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because, if the appellant's legal view were accepted, the Federal Supreme Court could not decide the merits itself and would have to remand for further fact-finding.
Extracted reasoning
A remand request suffices where the court would be unable to issue a final merits decision without additional factual clarification.
