Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Federal Prosecutor was entitled to appeal the refusal of prosecution authorization.
Decisão extraída
The Federal Prosecutor was not entitled to file the administrative law appeal because it lacked both a general personal interest under Art. 103 lit. a OG and any special statutory authorization under Art. 103 lit. c OG.
Fundamentação extraída
A federal administrative unit without legal personality is generally not entitled to challenge another federal administrative decision merely to defend the correct application of law. The omitted mention of the Federal Prosecutor in the repealed special provision was not an oversight but reflected its institutional position within the same federal department as the deciding authority.
