Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal contained a sufficiently specific request for relief.
Extracted holding
The request was potentially insufficient because no quantified payment claim or remittal request was made, but the Court left this open.
Extracted reasoning
If the limitation objection had been rejected, the Federal Court could not have decided the merits itself because only the limitation issue had been ruled on below; the case would have had to go back. The point was left undecided because the appeal failed in any event for lack of proper reasoning.
