Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the civil law appeal was filed within the 30-day statutory deadline under the Federal Supreme Court Act
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The appeal period began after the Easter judicial recess and expired on 11 May 2010; the filing on 12 May 2010 was late.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Arts. 44, 46(1)(a), and 100(1) BGG, the time limit started on 12 April 2010 and ended on 11 May 2010. Because the appeal was lodged only on 12 May 2010, it was untimely.
