Question juridique clé
Whether the new and expanded moral-damages conclusions in the supplementary appeal brief were admissible after the legal appeal period
Solution extraite
No. The appeal object is fixed by the conclusions filed within the statutory appeal period; the later supplementary brief could only expand the reasoning, not add new or broader conclusions.
Motifs extraits
Under the Administrative Procedure Act, the appeal must contain the conclusions within the 30-day period. A time granted to supplement the reasoning does not extend the statutory deadline and cannot be used to enlarge the claims, absent a justified exception not established here.
