Key legal question
Whether the federal administrative complaint against the cantonal decision was filed in time.
Extracted holding
No. The 30-day deadline expired on 11 January 2002; the complaint filed on 25 January 2002 was late.
Extracted reasoning
In mutual legal assistance matters, the suspension of deadlines under Art. 34(1) OG does not apply. The complaint period therefore runs uninterrupted under Art. 80k IRSG and Art. 106(1) OG.
