Questão jurídica principal
Whether the filing, mislabeled as a public-law appeal, was admissible as a public-law appeal under the new Federal Supreme Court Act.
Decisão extraída
The Court treated the filing as a public-law appeal only insofar as admissible under the new Federal Supreme Court Act and held that the wrong label caused no prejudice if the formal requirements of the available remedy were met.
Fundamentação extraída
The new procedural law applied; the old public-law appeal no longer existed. Because the filing was timely and challenged a final cantonal decision in a public-law tax matter, it could be treated as a public-law appeal under the applicable federal tax-harmonization framework.
