Key legal question
Whether the filing of 24 July 2012 could be treated as a public-law appeal to the Federal Supreme Court and was timely.
Extracted holding
The filing was treated as a public-law appeal, but it was lodged out of time because the 30-day deadline expired on 11 July 2012.
Extracted reasoning
The complete judgment was delivered on 11 June 2012, so the appeal period began on 12 June 2012 and ended on 11 July 2012. As the appeal was handed to a Spanish post office only on 26 July 2012, the deadline was missed.
