Question juridique clé
Whether the deadline for filing the administrative law appeal should be reinstated under Art. 35 OG
Solution extraite
No. The appellant missed the deadline through a procedural mistake, not through an unavoidable obstacle, so reinstatement was refused.
Motifs extraits
The appeal booklet clearly required filing a substantiated appeal within 30 days. The phone calls with court staff concerned the cantonal court and did not amount to an official assurance preventing timely filing. A mere mistake about procedural rules is not enough.
