Whether the appeal against the recusal judgment was filed within the 10-day time limit.
The first appeal brief was filed too late; the deadline expired on 26 May 2014 and postal delivery to a French post office on 27 May 2014 did not preserve the Swiss filing deadline.
The court held that a filing with a foreign post office is not equivalent to filing with a Swiss post office, and timeliness requires the Swiss Post to have taken possession of the envelope before expiry of the deadline.
