Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the administrative appeal against the cantonal judgment was filed in time despite disputed service of the decision.
Decisione estratta
The appeal period was respected because no valid service to the appellant’s actual residence was attempted after counsel had withdrawn and the court knew the new address.
Motivazione estratta
Service on former counsel could not count after mandate termination; the court also knew the residential-home address but did not attempt service there. The appellant learned of the judgment only in January 2004 and appealed shortly thereafter.
