Question juridique clé
Whether the federal appeal met the substantiation requirements under the Federal Supreme Court Act
Solution extraite
No. The appeal did not engage with the decisive reasoning of the cantonal judgment and contained no sufficient constitutional argument.
Motifs extraits
Where the challenged decision rests on cantonal procedural law, only violations of constitutional rights can be reviewed, and these must be specifically argued. Mere appellatory criticism is insufficient; the appellant failed to address the key reasons for the refusal of restoration of the time limit.
