Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal against the opposition decision was filed within the statutory time limit
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was filed late because the decisive postal handover occurred after the 30-day deadline had expired.
Extrahierte Begründung
The notification was deemed made on 2012-01-09. The 30-day period started on 2012-01-10 and ended on 2012-02-08. The appeal had to reach Swiss Post, the court, or a Swiss diplomatic/consular mission by that date. It was only handed to Swiss Post on 2012-02-10, so it was untimely.
