Key legal question
Whether the administrative law appeal was filed within the statutory time limit
Extracted holding
The appeal was filed one day late and was therefore inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
The appealed decision was served on 2003-08-19, so the 30-day deadline expired before the appeal was handed to the post on 2003-09-19. Procedural acts must occur within the prescribed period, and statutory time limits cannot be extended.
