Key legal question
Whether the request to reinstate the missed complaint deadline should be granted
Extracted holding
No. Mere absence from the office and insufficient supervision of staff do not constitute an excusable impediment.
Extracted reasoning
The deadline started upon service on 2002-09-20 and expired on 2002-09-30; filing on 2002-10-03 was late. The reasons invoked did not meet the strict requirements for reinstatement under Art. 33(4) SchKG.
