Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant had standing to appeal against the mutual legal assistance decision
Solution extraite
He lacked standing insofar as the request concerned company documents and assets, because he did not show that he was account holder or directly affected by a coercive measure, nor that the companies had been dissolved in a way giving him a subsidiary right of appeal.
Motifs extraits
In mutual legal assistance, standing is limited to the account holder or the person directly subjected to a coercive measure. A beneficial owner or mere proxy is not enough. Dissolution of a company can exceptionally confer standing only if proved with official documents and if the appellant is clearly shown as beneficiary; none of this was demonstrated.
