Questão jurídica principal
Whether the complaint to the Federal Supreme Court was filed within the statutory time limit
Decisão extraída
The complaint was out of time because the lower-court decision was deemed served after the seven-day postal pickup period and the filing deadline then expired on 31 March 2014.
Fundamentação extraída
A party who has already initiated proceedings must expect court mail and must ensure service can be effected. By failing to inform the court of an absence, the appellant culpably prevented service.
