Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal was filed within the 30-day deadline after service of the cantonal judgment in Italy
Decisão extraída
The appeal was filed out of time because the judgment was validly served by direct registered mail in Italy and the deadline expired before filing.
Fundamentação extraída
Direct postal service abroad was valid under the Hague Service Convention for Italy; once the item was left uncollected, service was deemed completed at the end of the holding period. The filing date was therefore too late.
