Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal appeal against the IV decision was filed within the statutory time limit after the 2007 amendment to Art. 38 ATSG
Decisão extraída
The appeal was timely because the statutory suspension of deadlines ran from 18 December to and including 2 January, so the filing on 29 January 2007 was still within the 30-day period.
Fundamentação extraída
The Federal Supreme Court held that the amended Art. 38(4)(c) ATSG applied immediately from 1 January 2007 and displaced the previous cantonal rule; counting the suspension period made the deadline expire on Monday, 29 January 2007.
