Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the late federal appeal period should be restored
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. A deadline mistake by the lawyer's staff is attributable to the appellant and does not constitute an excusable hindrance.
Extrahierte Begründung
The cantonal decision was duly served on 6 March 2009, so the appeal deadline expired on 20 April 2009. The mistaken entry of 21 April 2009 by a secretary/assistant is a fault of the legal representative's auxiliary person and therefore not an unexcused obstacle under Art. 50 Abs. 1 BGG.
