Key legal question
Whether the federal civil appeal against the Geneva decision was filed within the statutory time limit despite the Easter recess argument.
Extracted holding
The appeal was filed after expiry of the non-suspended 30-day deadline and is therefore inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
Measures protecting the conjugal union that regulate the patrimonial effects of separation are provisional measures; the appeal period is not suspended. The challenged decision was notified on 22 March 2007 and the deadline expired on 23 April 2007, while the appeal was posted only on 7 May 2007.
