Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible and what standard of review applied
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible in principle, but review was limited by the pleading and fact-finding rules of the Federal Supreme Court Act.
Extracted reasoning
The court held the appeal was timely, filed by the partly unsuccessful party, and concerned a final civil monetary judgment above the value threshold. New facts and challenges to findings of fact had to meet the strict requirements of the Act.
