Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the federal appeal was filed within the statutory time limit after notification of the cantonal judgment.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The judgment was deemed notified on 2008-08-27, when the postal item was collected; the federal appeal filed on 2008-10-18 was therefore late.
Extrahierte Begründung
A party who leaves the address designated for service without arranging mail forwarding cannot rely on personal absence. The delivery was deemed effected upon collection at the post office.
