Question juridique clé
Whether the missed appeal deadline should be restored under Art. 94 StPO
Solution extraite
Restoration was denied because the appellant failed to make credible that he was without fault; language difficulties and counsel's conduct did not excuse the delay.
Motifs extraits
The appellant understood the discontinuance decision sufficiently to know he wished to challenge it, knew a deadline was running, and could have acted in time. A represented party generally bears the conduct of counsel, absent serious misconduct.
