Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the cantonal judgment of 20 December 2010 was filed within the statutory time limit
Extracted holding
No. The appeal period had expired on 1 February 2011, while the filing was made on 4 February 2011.
Extracted reasoning
The judgment was placed in the appellant's mailbox on 24 December 2010. The suspension of deadlines under Art. 46(1)(c) BGG does not stop the seven-day collection period under Art. 44(2) BGG; the 30-day appeal period therefore started on 3 January 2011 and expired on 1 February 2011.
