Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal was admissible despite the insurer's partial reference to earlier pleadings and alleged lack of standing
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible: the brief sufficiently identified the challenged points, and the remand order exposed the insurer to a legal detriment.
Extracted reasoning
A reference to prior submissions is permissible if the grounds of appeal remain apparent from the brief itself; a remand for further investigation and a new decision is burdensome for the insurer.
