Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal to the Federal Administrative Court was filed within the 30-day deadline after the Easter suspension period.
Solution extraite
No. The first day after the end of the suspension period counts toward the deadline, so the appeal was one day late.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 20 Abs. 1 VwVG in conjunction with Art. 22a Abs. 1 lit. a VwVG, the deadline begins on the first day after the suspension ends. The court reaffirmed its clarified case law and saw no reason to depart from it.
