Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court wrongly refused to hear the appeal as late
Extrahierter Entscheid
The non-entry decision was based on an obviously incorrect factual finding and amounted to an impermissible denial of justice, because the appeal was handed to the post on time and the formal defect was cured within the set time limit.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court accepted that the appeal had been lodged within time and that the missing signature was remedied. The incorrect lateness finding was therefore arbitrary.
