Whether the new pain-and-suffering claims raised only in the supplementary brief were admissible before the Federal Administrative Court
Decisione estratta
No. The supplementary brief could not extend the original appeal period or introduce new claims after the legal deadline.
Motivazione estratta
Under the Administrative Procedure Act, the appeal must contain the conclusions within the statutory 30-day period. A later deadline to complete the reasoning does not reopen or extend the time limit for new claims.
