Question juridique clé
Whether the federal appeal was filed within the statutory time limit after deemed notification of the cantonal decision.
Solution extraite
The appellant was deemed to have received notification on 2009-12-30; the appeal filed on 2010-05-10 was therefore late.
Motifs extraits
A party who knows it is involved in proceedings must collect registered mail or arrange receipt. The appellant offered no credible reason preventing him from collecting the letter during the postal holding period or forwarding it before a possible trip. The appeal period under Art. 100(1) LTF, suspended over the judicial recess, expired on 2010-02-01.
