Question juridique clé
Whether the missed federal appeal deadline should be restored under Art. 50 BGG
Solution extraite
No restoration was warranted because the alleged reasons did not amount to an unavoidable impediment.
Motifs extraits
The wrong advice from the former lawyer is attributable to the applicant; the alleged telephone misadvice came after the deadline had already expired; the medical records did not show that the applicant was unable to act or instruct new counsel in time.
