Question juridique clé
Whether the moral-damage claims newly raised in the supplementary brief of 14 March 2008 were admissible before the Federal Administrative Court
Solution extraite
No. The appeal object was fixed by the timely notice of appeal; the supplementary briefing period could extend only the reasoning, not the conclusions, and no exception justified a late expansion.
Motifs extraits
Under the Administrative Procedure Act, conclusions must be filed within the statutory appeal period and define the dispute. A later deadline to supplement reasoning does not reopen or extend the appeal period. Any exception would require that the new facts fundamentally change the case, which was not shown here.
