Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the federal complaint was filed within the 30-day deadline
Decisione estratta
No. The complaint reached the Swiss Post after the deadline and was therefore late.
Motivazione estratta
The decisive moment is receipt by the Swiss Post or another authorized channel before the deadline. The filing sent from Spain on 18 June 2009 arrived at the international mail center in Zurich only on 23 June 2009, after the deadline of 19 June 2009.
