Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal was filed within the statutory time limit
Extracted holding
The appeal was late because it was filed more than 30 days after service of the cantonal judgment.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 100(1) BGG, appeals must be filed within 30 days. The appeal was lodged on 19 May 2009 against a decision handed over on 2 April 2009, so the deadline had expired.
