Key legal question
Whether the public-law appeal was filed within the statutory time limit
Extracted holding
The appeal was filed after the deadline because the cantonal judgment was deemed notified on 2007-01-03 and the filing on 2007-02-06 was late.
Extracted reasoning
A registered postal delivery is deemed notified on the last day of the seven-day collection period when the addressee is a party to pending proceedings and expects a communication. The request to hold mail did not postpone deemed service.
