Whether the letters of 11 and 17 January 2008 should be treated as an appeal against the Federal Administrative Court judgment or as a request for restitution of time.

The Federal Supreme Court held that no intention to appeal was expressed; the writings were to be treated as a request for restitution of the payment deadline with performance of the omitted act.
Motivazione estratta
The appellant had carried out the omitted act and requested deadline restitution under Art. 24 para. 1 PA; the matter therefore fell within the competence of the Federal Administrative Court.
