Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the cantonal supervisory decision was filed within the statutory 10-day period.
Extracted holding
The appeal was late because the deadline expired on 16 September 2002, while the filing in Germany occurred on 2 October 2002.
Extracted reasoning
The decision was validly served on 3 September 2002; the appeal period began on 4 September 2002 and ended on 16 September 2002. Even with a possible extension for cross-border mail, the filing remained out of time.
