Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal to the Federal Supreme Court was filed within the statutory time limit.
Decisione estratta
The appeal was late because the decisive service date was 2011-03-31 under the postal delivery fiction, not 2011-04-04.
Motivazione estratta
The representative’s assistant collected only part of the listed mail and failed to verify that all avised items, including the judgment, were handed over. This error is attributable to the lawyer and appellant. The first failed delivery attempt triggered Art. 44(2) BGG; the second notice did not change the start of the deadline.
