Questão jurídica principal
Whether the late filing of the power of attorney made the federal appeal inadmissible
Decisão extraída
The power of attorney was filed one day late; this should have led to non-consideration of the appeal, and the lateness was not excused.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 42(5) LTF, a missing power of attorney must be cured within the set deadline. No extension or restitution request was made, and the appellant was warned of the consequence. The Court also rejected reliance on Art. 100(7) LTF.
