Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal was admissible despite the cantonal decision being based on lateness and lack of authority/signature
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the appellant failed to challenge, with constitutionally sufficient reasoning, the independent ground that the cantonal appeal was late.
Extracted reasoning
Where a decision rests on multiple independent and sufficient grounds, each must be challenged; the appellant's brief did not adequately address the cantonal time-limit reasoning under the required standards of Art. 42(2) and Art. 106(2) LTF.
