Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal appeal against the closing decision was time-barred despite the bank account being closed and no Swiss domicile being elected.
Decisão extraída
After account closure, a 'fermo banca' arrangement is no longer opposable; the appeal period runs from actual knowledge of the decision if it was not served through a Swiss domicile.
Fundamentação extraída
The lower court failed to account for the closure of the banking relationship, which made the bank-retention arrangement inapplicable. However, the Federal Tribunal upheld the cantonal court's fallback review on the merits, so the error did not require annulment.
