Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Federal Supreme Court had jurisdiction to hear the complaint against the St. Gallen Administrative Appeals Commission's decision.
Decisão extraída
The court lacked jurisdiction because the Administrative Appeals Commission of St. Gallen is not an upper cantonal court within the meaning of Art. 86(2) BGG in traffic-administration cases.
Fundamentação extraída
Jurisdiction and admissibility must be examined ex officio. Following its earlier case law, the court held that the cantonal commission does not satisfy the requirement of an upper court; the fact that it had ruled on suspensive effect did not change that.
