Questão jurídica principal
Whether the federal appeal met the required substantiation and could be examined on the merits.
Decisão extraída
The appeal was insufficiently reasoned because it did not adequately engage with the challenged decision and relied on facts contrary to the binding findings below.
Fundamentação extraída
Under the appeal rules, the appellant had to identify the violated federal rules and explain concretely how they were infringed; it also had to respect the binding factual findings unless a permitted exception was shown. These requirements were not met.
