Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the administrative law appeal against the customs authority's mutual assistance decision was filed in time.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. In mutual legal assistance in criminal matters, the statutory time limit is not suspended by judicial holidays, so the appeal filed on 10 January 2002 was late.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 12(2) AIMP excludes federal and cantonal rules on suspension of time limits. Therefore Art. 34 OG does not apply, and the 30-day appeal period runs without interruption.
