Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the missed federal appeal deadline should be restored under Art. 50 BGG
Decisione estratta
Restoration was not warranted because the appellant did not show that his injuries prevented him from acting within the time limit or instructing a third person, and the filed medical certificates were insufficient.
Motivazione estratta
A medical condition qualifies only if it completely prevents timely procedural action; mere incapacity to work does not suffice. The appellant was able to seek an extension on 2 August 2012, which undermined his claim of a continuing impediment.
