Questão jurídica principal
Whether a federal appeal filed by fax is admissible under the BGG filing formalities.
Decisão extraída
No. An appeal to the Federal Supreme Court must be filed either by delivery to the court or postal service, or electronically with a recognized electronic signature; a fax submission does not satisfy these requirements.
Fundamentação extraída
Because the appeal was submitted by fax rather than in one of the legally prescribed forms, it was inadmissible. The Court therefore did not enter into the appeal under Art. 108(1)(a) BGG.
