Key legal question
Whether the cassation appeal was filed within the statutory time limit
Extracted holding
No; the appeal was out of time because the 20-day period ran from the public pronouncement on 11 April 1894.
Extracted reasoning
Under Arts. 164 and 167 O.G., the relevant date is the public announcement of the judgment by the cantonal court president, not a private notification by the court clerk. Klaus did not prove that a different mode of service had been specially ordered.
