Omnilex summary

The court held that the appeal in a social insurance matter was filed after the deadline. Applying the monthly time limit, it confirmed that the period began the day after notification at 00:00 and expired on the corresponding day of the last month at 24:00. Because the appeal was posted on 1997-10-10, after expiry on 1997-10-09, it was declared inadmissible.

Résumé

Recours déclaré irrecevable car tardif. En droit fédéral, le délai en mois commence à courir le lendemain de la communication en notification à 0h.00. Le délai de recours ayant commencé à courir le 10 juillet à 0h.00, il est arrivé à échéance le 9 octobre à 24h00, de sorte que le recours mis à la poste le 10 octobre 1997 est tardif.

Key legal question

Whether the social insurance appeal was filed within the statutory time limit

Extracted holding

The appeal was filed too late because a monthly deadline begins to run on the day after notification at 00:00 and expires on the corresponding day of the last month at 24:00.

Extracted reasoning

The deadline started on 1997-07-10 at 00:00 and ended on 1997-10-09 at 24:00; a filing posted on 1997-10-10 was therefore out of time.
