Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the faxed federal appeal was admissible under the Federal Supreme Court procedural rules
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. A fax submission is not a valid form of filing, and no proper appeal was submitted within the deadline after notice.
Extrahierte Begründung
Appeals must be filed either in paper form via the Federal Supreme Court or Swiss Post, or electronically with a recognized electronic signature. The faxed submission was therefore invalid; the appellant was warned and given the chance to cure the defect, but did not file a valid appeal in time.
