Questão jurídica principal
Whether the federal public law appeal was filed within the statutory deadline
Decisão extraída
The appeal was late because the cantonal judgment was deemed served on 2009-02-23 and the appeal period expired on 2009-03-25.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 100 Abs. 1 BGG the appeal period is 30 days. Because the first delivery attempt failed and the judgment was not collected, Art. 44 Abs. 2 BGG deemed service to have occurred at the end of the pickup period after the first attempt. The filing of 2009-04-05 was therefore out of time.
