Key legal question
Whether the reform appeal was filed in time and properly before the Federal Supreme Court
Extracted holding
The appeal was timely, and filing it directly with the Federal Supreme Court did not prevent entry into the matter.
Extracted reasoning
The 30-day period ran from notification on 18 April 2005 and expired on 18 May 2005, when the appeal was filed. Under Art. 32 al. 4 let. b OJ, timely filing with the Federal Supreme Court preserved the deadline.
