Question juridique clé
Whether a lawyer's post retention order suspends the running of the appeal period.
Solution extraite
No. A retention order under postal rules does not stop the appeal deadline; a lawyer must organize his office so deadlines are met during absence.
Motifs extraits
The instruction was not a proper organizational measure like appointing a substitute or forwarding mail, but merely an attempt to prevent delivery. Accepting it would undermine procedural time limits. The deadline therefore began when the mail would have been delivered in the ordinary course.
