Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal against the continued asset freeze was filed within the statutory time limit despite judicial vacation suspension rules.
Solution extraite
The appeal deadline in mutual legal assistance matters is not suspended by judicial vacations; the appeal filed on 31 January 2002 was therefore late.
Motifs extraits
Article 12(2) AIMP excludes the application of federal and cantonal rules on suspension of time limits. Therefore Article 34(1) OG on judicial vacations does not apply, even if a 30-day appeal period were assumed.
