Questione giuridica chiave
Whether an extension request under Art. 22(2) VwVG is timely when posted on the last day of the deadline
Decisione estratta
Yes. It is sufficient if the extension request is handed to the Swiss Post on the last day of the deadline.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 21 VwVG governs timeliness of written submissions, and the same postal rule applies to extension requests under Art. 22(2) VwVG. The court saw no reason to interpret VwVG differently from the parallel OG practice.
