Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the federal appeal was filed in time despite the Ascension holiday.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The filing deadline was extended by one day because 17 May 2007 was a public holiday, so the appeal lodged on 18 May 2007 was timely.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 45 para. 1 LTF, a deadline ending on a public holiday is extended to the next working day; therefore the 31st day was still timely.
