Question juridique clé
Whether the administrative law recourse was admissible against the Federal Customs Appeals Commission decision and could also attack the lower decisions directly.
Solution extraite
The recourse was admissible against the Commission's decision, but the requests to annul the lower decisions were inadmissible because of the devolutive effect of the prior appeal.
Motifs extraits
Federal administrative appeal lies against federal public law decisions by the competent authority; however, once the matter has been appealed, earlier decisions are no longer directly challengeable before the Federal Court.
