Key legal question
Whether the appeal deadline should be restored under Art. 50 BGG
Extracted holding
The request for restoration was denied because neither the applicant nor his counsel was shown to have been prevented, without fault, from acting on time.
Extracted reasoning
Mere ignorance of procedural rules or a mistaken view of their scope does not justify restoration. The alleged telephone information from an Obergericht employee did not relieve counsel from independently checking the question of the statutory suspension of time limits. With due diligence, counsel could have recognized that Art. 46(1) BGG did not apply to criminal interim decisions concerning seizure or account freeze.
