Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the federal appeal was filed in time despite the cantonal cassation proceedings.
Decisione estratta
No. The appeal period began with service of the cantonal cassation decision and expired before the federal appeal was mailed.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 100(6) BGG, the time limit starts upon service of the cantonal cassation decision; in matters under Art. 98 BGG, court holidays do not apply under Art. 46(2) BGG. The filing on 20 May 2011 was therefore late.
