Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal was sufficiently reasoned to be heard despite being framed mainly as a remand request.
Decisão extraída
A remand request was admissible because the Federal Supreme Court could not decide the merits itself without missing factual findings.
Fundamentação extraída
The appellate court had made no findings enabling a merits decision; therefore, a pure remand request was exceptional and acceptable, subject to proper reasoning.
