Key legal question
Whether the administrative appeal against the mutual legal assistance decision was filed in time despite the judicial summer recess.
Extracted holding
The 30-day appeal period in international mutual legal assistance in criminal matters is not suspended by judicial holidays; the appeal was filed too late.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 12(2) AIMP excludes the application of federal and cantonal rules on suspension of deadlines. Therefore Art. 34 OG does not apply in this area.
