Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal against the opposition decision was filed within the statutory deadline.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was time-barred because the commune did not show timely filing or seek reinstatement after being invited to respond.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 60 LPGA requires a 30-day appeal period; when an appeal appears late, the court must invite the appellant to comment under Art. 78 LPA-VD. As the commune remained silent, tardiness had to be assumed and the appeal declared inadmissible.
