Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal could be entered into despite the missing handwritten signature on the appeal brief.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The appellant failed to submit a personally signed appeal within the non-extendable deadline, so the appeal was not entertained.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Federal Court held that the defect remained uncured even after the deadline, including the court vacation suspension. Under the warning given, the appeal had to be disregarded without waiting for the expiry of the cost-advance deadline.
