Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal was filed within the 30-day deadline under the Federal Supreme Court Act.
Solution extraite
The challenged decision was deemed served on 18 October 2010; the appeal period began on 19 October 2010 and expired on 17 November 2010. The appeal mailed on 19 November 2010 was therefore late.
Motifs extraits
Service occurred when the seven-day postal collection period expired, not when the appellant actually collected the decision.
