Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court acted arbitrarily by admitting a single filing styled as a nullity appeal alternatively as a declaration of appeal.
Extracted holding
No. The filing was sufficiently clear, did not mix incompatible grievances, and served to prevent procedural abuse without disregarding form requirements in a manifestly unsustainable way.
Extracted reasoning
The same ground had to be raised in either remedy; the Federal Court held that identical motivation is not, by itself, fatal. What matters is whether the grounds remain clear and meet the formal requirements of each remedy.
