Key legal question
Whether the letter filed by R.________ could be treated as a timely appeal against the first-instance judgment.
Extracted holding
No. The appeal deadline was ten days from notification, was not suspended during court recess, and expired on 2013-07-22; the letter was posted only on 2013-08-07.
Extracted reasoning
In sommaire proceedings under Article 314 CPC, the appeal period is ten days. The judgment was notified on 2013-07-12, and the filing occurred after expiry. A dissatisfied party must challenge the judgment by appeal rather than asking the same judge to modify it.
