Whether the appeal against the protective-measures order was filed in time
The appeal was filed too late because the notification was deemed completed after the postal retention period, so the deadline had expired before filing.
The appellant had to expect service because he had been summoned to the hearing. Under Art. 138(3)(a) CPC the registered letter was deemed notified after seven days of failed delivery; the appeal period under Art. 314(1) CPC, computed with Art. 142(3) CPC, expired on 16 October 2013, while the appeal was filed on 21 October 2013.
