Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal against the 11 March 2009 license-withdrawal decision was timely in light of registered-mail notification rules.
Solution extraite
The decision was validly notified by fictive notification at the end of the postal holding period, so the appeal filed on 28 July 2010 was late.
Motifs extraits
The authority sent the decision by registered mail to the address supplied by the driver; he did not collect it, and no circumstances established a preponderant probability of a notification error or grounds for restoring the time limit.
