Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the federal appeal was filed within the statutory time limit
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was filed out of time and cannot be considered.
Extrahierte Begründung
The deadline under Art. 100 para. 1 BGG expired on 27 January 2010; posting the filing in Croatia on 26 January was insufficient because it reached the Swiss postal system only on 2 February 2010. Under Art. 48 para. 1 BGG, timely submission required delivery to the Federal Court, Swiss Post, or a Swiss diplomatic or consular mission by the deadline.
