Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal to the Federal Supreme Court was filed within the statutory time limit
Solution extraite
The appeal was filed out of time because the 30-day period ended on 28 January 2008 and the filing on 22 February 2008 was late.
Motifs extraits
The period began on 14 December 2007, was suspended from 18 December 2007 to 2 January 2008, and elapsed on 28 January 2008. The illness of the appellant’s responsible person in February did not affect the already expired deadline.
