Key legal question
Whether the criminal complaint against the no-opening decision was filed within the statutory time limit.
Extracted holding
The service on the appellant's mother, who was authorized to receive it, triggered the appeal period; the complaint filed on 7 January 2013 was therefore late.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant had to ensure timely reaction despite his absence or inform the prosecution of his fourteen-day absence. Since he failed to do so, he must bear the consequences of the expired deadline.
