Question juridique clé
Whether the federal appeal was admissible despite the absence of a properly reasoned filing within 30 days
Solution extraite
No. The letter sent on 19 April 2007 did not satisfy the formal requirements of a reasoned appeal under Art. 42 para. 2 LTF, so the Court could not enter into the appeal.
Motifs extraits
The appellant did not submit a duly motivated appeal brief to the Federal Supreme Court within the statutory time limit. Because the prior decision was rendered after 1 January 2007, the LTF applied, and the simplified non-entry procedure was available.
