Questione giuridica chiave
Whether a separate deadline had to be granted to file the objection's reasoning under Zurich procedural law
Decisione estratta
No. A separate deadline is only required when the defect appears to be an inadvertent procedural error or due to procedural unfamiliarity; here the appellant knew the reasoning requirement and intentionally failed to file it on time.
Motivazione estratta
The file showed that the appeal instruction expressly and repeatedly mentioned the reasoning requirement. The appellant acknowledged awareness of it and nevertheless waited to submit reasons. In those circumstances, refusing a new deadline was consistent with § 23(2) VRG and did not violate equal treatment.
