Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court correctly refused to hear the appeal as untimely.
Extracted holding
Yes. The 30-day appeal period had expired before the appeal was handed to the post, so the cantonal court had to decline jurisdiction.
Extracted reasoning
The Easter suspension under Art. 38 Abs. 4 lit. a ATSG runs only until the seventh day after Easter Sunday, not through Easter Monday or the whole Easter weekend. The decision was served during the suspension; the deadline therefore started on 2013-04-08 and ended on 2013-05-07. Filing on the following day was late.
