Key legal question
Whether the faxed complaint to the Federal Supreme Court was admissible.
Extracted holding
No. A complaint must be filed in the legally prescribed form; a fax submission is inadmissible and no valid filing followed.
Extracted reasoning
Federal Supreme Court filings must be submitted by hand delivery, post, or approved electronic filing. Fax does not satisfy Art. 48(1) and Art. 42(4) BGG.
