Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal period should be restored under Art. 50 BGG
Decisione estratta
No. The applicant and its counsel were not prevented without fault from acting in time; a mistaken view of the deadline suspension rules and a non-binding phone call did not justify restoration.
Motivazione estratta
Restoration requires an excusable impediment. Mere ignorance or misunderstanding of procedural law is generally insufficient. The employee's general information did not relieve counsel from checking the deadline rule, and due diligence would have shown that the deadline suspension did not apply to this criminal interlocutory seizure/freezing matter.
