Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal appeal was time-barred because service was deemed completed at the end of the 7-day pickup period.
Solution extraite
Yes. The Obergericht correctly applied the settled rule that an expected registered delivery not collected within the pickup period is deemed served on the last day of that period, even if the post grants a longer collection period.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Supreme Court held that the cantonal court followed its established case law on deemed service and the calculation of appeal deadlines. The appellant did not substantively challenge that reasoning, so his constitutional complaints were manifestly unfounded.
