Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the federal appeal was filed within the statutory time limit.
Decisione estratta
No. The 30-day deadline expired on 2012-01-26, so the appeal was late.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 100(1) LTF, read with Art. 46(1)(c) LTF, the deadline ran from notification on 2011-12-12 and expired on Thursday 2012-01-26; the filing on 2012-02-27 was therefore untimely and could be dismissed under Art. 108(1)(a) LTF.
