Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the federal complaint against the Bern police chamber decision was filed within the sixty-day deadline
Decisione estratta
The complaint was filed too late and therefore could not be examined on the merits.
Motivazione estratta
The Court held that the sixty-day time limit under Art. 59 O.G. had expired. The last day was Sunday 20 September 1891, and for state-law matters the civil procedural rule allowing filing on the next working day does not apply; the appeal therefore had to be lodged by 20 September, but was only posted on 21 September.
