Key legal question
Whether restoration of the missed appeal deadline was admissible under Art. 43 O.G.
Extracted holding
Restoration is granted only if an unexcused impediment prevented timely action and the request is filed within ten days after the impediment ends; those conditions were not met here.
Extracted reasoning
The delay resulted from the appellants' intermediary leaving without arranging proper handling of incoming mail. This was not an unforeseeable or unavoidable impediment for a careful person.
