Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal against the seizure order was filed in time under the mutual legal assistance rules.
Decisione estratta
The appeal was filed too late because the 10-day deadline expired on 22 December 2003; the appeal of 7 January 2004 was therefore inadmissible.
Motivazione estratta
The appealable seizure order was served on 12 December 2003, so the deadline started on 13 December 2003. Holiday suspension rules of Art. 34 OG do not apply in mutual legal assistance matters pursuant to Art. 12(2) IRSG.
