Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal against the protective-measures order was filed within time.
Decisione estratta
No. Because the appellant had to expect service, the order was deemed notified seven days after the failed delivery attempt; the ten-day appeal period expired before the appeal was filed.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 138 al. 3 let. a CPC, uncollected registered mail is deemed notified after seven days if the addressee should expect service. Since the appellant had attended the hearing, he had to expect the decision. The appeal lodged on 6 June 2016 was therefore late.
