Key legal question
Whether the request for restoration of the appeal deadline under Art. 35 OG was admissible and substantiated.
Extracted holding
The request was manifestly unfounded because no unavoidable impediment was shown; the late filing resulted from counsel's own fault.
Extracted reasoning
Restoration is available only if the party or counsel was prevented from acting by an unavoidable impediment and requests restoration within ten days while performing the omitted act. The lawyer merely attacked the Court's earlier legal assessment and did not show an excusable impediment.
