Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily denied restoration of the appeal deadline under Art. 43(2) VRPG for counsel's office error
Extracted holding
No. The cantonal court could, without arbitrariness, understand 'excusable reasons' as requiring objective or subjective impossibility without attributable negligence.
Extracted reasoning
The wording of Art. 43(2) VRPG does not compel a broader reading. The court relied on doctrine and aligned the cantonal notion with the strict restoration standard used in federal procedural law.
