Questione giuridica chiave
Whether a federal appeal filed by fax is admissible under the BGG filing formalities.
Decisione estratta
No. An appeal to the Federal Supreme Court must be filed either by delivery to the court or postal service, or electronically with a recognized electronic signature; a fax submission does not satisfy these requirements.
Motivazione estratta
Because the appeal was submitted by fax rather than in one of the legally prescribed forms, it was inadmissible. The Court therefore did not enter into the appeal under Art. 108(1)(a) BGG.
