Key legal question
Whether the appeal to the Federal Supreme Court was filed within the statutory time limit.
Extracted holding
The appeal was filed too late and therefore could not be considered.
Extracted reasoning
After the suspension period ended on 2 January 2012, the 30-day appeal period under Art. 100 para. 1 BGG, in conjunction with Arts. 44 and 48 BGG, expired on 1 February 2012. The appeal was only filed on 2 February 2012.
