Key legal question
Whether the appeal was sufficiently reasoned to meet the requirements of the Federal Supreme Court Act.
Extracted holding
No. The appellant did not meaningfully challenge the cantonal court’s independent alternative reasoning on the ten-day deadline, so the appeal was plainly insufficiently reasoned.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 42(2) and 106(2) LTF, the appellant had to address the decisive grounds of the lower decision. He only disputed the first ground and made unsupported assertions about later promises, without dates or proof, regarding the second ground.
