Decisione estratta
The appeal period ran from 2006-09-23, was interrupted by the bankruptcy on 2006-10-04, resumed after the assignment on 2007-04-27/28, and expired on 2007-05-16; the appeal filed on 2007-11-03 was late.

Statutory appeal periods are peremptory and cannot be extended. Under Art. 207 SchKG the suspension ends once the bankruptcy estate or the assignee is authorized to continue the proceedings, and the assignee takes the process as it stands at the time of suspension.
