Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the criminal appeal was admissible despite the missing power of attorney for counsel.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Because the requested power of attorney was not produced within the time limit, the appeal could not be examined on the merits.
Extrahierte Begründung
Counsel must prove authority by power of attorney under Art. 40(2) LTF; if the defect is not cured within the deadline, the filing is inadmissible under Art. 42(5) LTF and may be decided in simplified procedure under Art. 108(1)(a) LTF.
