Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the deadline for filing a reasoned criminal appeal should be restored under Art. 50(1) BGG after counsel’s accident.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Counsel was prevented from acting without fault by a serious accident and hospitalization, and the missing procedural act was completed within 30 days after the hindrance ended.
Extrahierte Begründung
A restoration requires that the party or its representative was unable to act in time without fault and that the reason is stated and the missed act is performed within 30 days. A serious accident near the end of the deadline normally justifies restoration when counsel could not act personally or through substitution.
