Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal was filed within the statutory deadline
Solution extraite
The appeal was untimely because it was filed after the thirty-day deadline and was not lodged through a permissible filing channel.
Motifs extraits
The appellant claimed to have learned of the judgment on 13 August 2009; the appeal submitted on 14 September 2009 to a post office in Dakar, rather than Swiss Post or a Swiss diplomatic/consular representation, did not satisfy the filing requirements.
