Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the objection against the contravention decision was time-barred under Geneva procedural law.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The objection was timely because the recommended notice was not validly notified by lapse of the postal holding period; the 14-day late-opposition rule did not apply.
Extrahierte Begründung
The accused had no reason to expect the contravention notice before the service's later letter of 26 May 2009. Without regular notification, the fiction of notification after the holding period could not trigger the ordinary or subsidiary objection deadlines.
