Key legal question
Whether the appeal met the formal requirements of Art. 42 LTF.
Extracted holding
No. The filing lacked the challenged decision, any conclusions, and any substantiated reasons showing why the decision violated the law.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 42 paras. 1 and 3 LTF, an appeal must be written in an official language, contain conclusions and reasons, be signed, and include the challenged decision when available. These defects were not cured despite a request by the Federal Supreme Court.
