Question juridique clé
Whether the default judgment was validly notified by post so that the relief request period started on the postal expiry date
Solution extraite
Yes. The first postal notification was effective; the later attempted delivery did not restart any deadline.
Motifs extraits
In an ongoing civil case, the party had to expect judicial communications and had actually received earlier procedural mailings and the summons. Under Swiss notification rules, uncollected registered mail is deemed notified on the last day of the pickup period. A second notification after the deadline cannot create a new relief period and was only a courtesy communication.
