Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal against the peace judge's decision was filed within the 30-day time limit under Art. 321 para. 1 CPC
Solution extraite
No. The deadline expired on 2013-09-10, and the appeal was posted only on 2013-09-11, so it was late.
Motifs extraits
The written and reasoned appeal must be filed within 30 days of notification of the reasoned decision. Because summer judicial recess suspended the period from 15 July to 15 August, the deadline expired on Tuesday 10 September 2013. The postal stamp showed dispatch on 11 September 2013.
