Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal had to be dismissed for insufficient relief request under the Federal Judiciary Act
Decisão extraída
The defendants' request for reversal was sufficient; the appeal could be examined on the merits.
Fundamentação extraída
The alleged defect would not preclude review because, if properly raised, the Federal Court could have annulled and remanded ex officio; in any event the complaint mainly attacked the merits.
