Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the administrative appeal was filed within the statutory 30-day deadline
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was filed after expiry of the statutory time limit and was therefore late.
Extrahierte Begründung
The challenged decision was served on 2003-09-12, so the deadline expired on 2003-10-13; the appeal posted on 2003-10-14 was untimely.
