Question juridique clé
Whether the request for restoration of the appeal period should be granted
Solution extraite
No. The period began when the judgment was served on the duly authorized representative, so the appellant's later service date was irrelevant.
Motifs extraits
The statutory 30-day appeal period cannot be extended. Because the lower-court judgment was delivered to the lawful representative on 2012-10-29, the appeal deadline expired on 2012-11-28. The appellant's reliance on a later personal receipt did not justify restoration.
