Questão jurídica principal
Whether the constitutional complaint could challenge the late filing finding and the appellant's reliance on a court deadline notice
Decisão extraída
The good-faith argument was admissible and, on the facts, the appellant could rely on the information given by the competent court staff.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the protection of legitimate expectations applies when a person may reasonably regard the authority as competent. Given the bankruptcy court's referral, the clear and unconditional deadline information from an employee of the competent district court, and the appellant's status as a layperson, he could trust the advice.
