Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal to the cantonal court was out of time because the decision was deemed served during vacation
Solution extraite
The appellant had sufficiently notified the court of his vacation absence and could legitimately rely on deferred dispatch; the service fiction did not trigger the appeal period during his absence.
Motifs extraits
In pending proceedings a party must expect service, but here the unrepresented appellant had informed the court of his absence based on prior court guidance. The notice was adequately placed and highlighted, and it was unreasonable to require a formal request at the beginning of the submission. Trust in the court's conduct protected him under good faith.
