Question juridique clé
Whether the request for restitution of the missed appeal deadline was admissible and timely.
Solution extraite
The restitution request was rejected insofar as it could be examined because it was filed too late, after the 30-day period from the end of the obstacle.
Motifs extraits
Even assuming the claimed incapacity might qualify as an obstacle, Article 50 BGG requires a restitution request within 30 days after the obstacle ceases. The lawyer's later realization that he misread the receipt date was not an excusable obstacle.
