Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal was filed within the statutory time limit.
Extracted holding
The appeal was filed too late because the 30-day period was not suspended in this interim-measures case and the filing date was after expiry.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 100(1) LTF the appeal period is 30 days. In proceedings concerning interim measures under Art. 98 LTF, the summer suspension of time limits does not apply pursuant to Art. 46(2) LTF. Since the challenged judgment was notified on 2013-08-05 and the appeal was posted only on 2013-09-16, it was untimely.
