Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible despite being filed by a person who could not represent the appellant before the Federal Supreme Court and despite the missing personal signature.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the appellant did not cure the signature defect and the representative was not authorized to appear before the Federal Supreme Court.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant was warned under Art. 40(1) and Art. 42(5) BGG to submit a personally signed version of the appeal, but failed to do so within the set deadline. The filing also did not satisfy the formal requirements of Art. 42(1) and (2) BGG.
