Key legal question
Whether the administrative law appeal was admissible against a cantonal procedural decision based on failure to pay an advance fee on time.
Extracted holding
A federal administrative law appeal can be heard against such a cantonal procedural non-entry decision when the authority would have had to apply federal administrative law on the merits.
Extracted reasoning
The Court held that a procedural decision based on cantonal law may still be reviewed by this remedy if the underlying dispute would otherwise fall under federal administrative law.
