Ferrari have welcomed the FIA's decision to submit the spy saga to the International Court of Appeal.
FIA president Max Mosley agreed in a letter to the head of the Italian Automobile Club's that the matter should go to the Appeal Court in order to allow Ferrari to present their case after McLaren were found guilty of being in possession of confidential documents.
The British team, however, were not penalised as the WMSC found there was no evidence that the data had been used to McLaren's benefit.
"Ferrari finds the decision of the FIA President to be sensible," a Ferrari spokesman said after the FIA published Mosley's letter.
"The FIA has correctly found that Ferrari, as interested party, must enjoy all the rights of a party in a trial, which is what didn't happen in the WMSC hearing."
An FIA spokesman said the hearing was likely to be in Paris at the end of August.
