Question juridique clé
Whether the constitutional complaint was filed within the statutory 60-day time limit.
Solution extraite
The complaint was filed too late because the period began with the oral opening of the appellate judgment on 29 December 1898.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 178 no. 3 Org.-Ges. the decisive starting point is the opening of the decision, not the later service of the written reasons. Since the dispositive part was orally opened to the parties, later transmission of the reasons did not postpone the deadline.
