Key legal question
Whether the civil law appeal to the Federal Tribunal was filed within the statutory time limit.
Extracted holding
The appeal was filed after the ten-day deadline and is therefore inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
The challenged decision was notified on 2012-11-23 and the ten-day appeal period under Art. 100(2)(a) LTF expired on 2012-12-03; posting on 2012-12-13 was too late. No excusable impediment under Art. 50(1) LTF was shown.
