Key legal question
Whether the appeal was filed within the 10-day deadline for international mutual assistance cases
Extracted holding
No. The appeal was handed to the post on 2011-08-16, after the deadline expired on 2011-08-15.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 100(2)(b) BGG the deadline is ten days and no statutory suspension applies. The last day fell on a Saturday, so the period extended to Monday, but the filing was still late.
