Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the Federal Court could review the cantonal court's finding that the motivated appeal brief was filed out of time under Vaud procedural law.
Decisione estratta
Cantonal procedural-law issues may be reviewed only for arbitrariness and only if a properly substantiated constitutional complaint is raised; none was made here.
Motivazione estratta
The appellant merely asserted that his brief was sufficiently reasoned and did not explain why the cantonal president's time-limit assessment was arbitrary. The Federal Court therefore could not enter into the matter.
