Questão jurídica principal
Whether the constitutional complaint could also challenge the State Council decision despite the missed deadline, because of an incorrect appeal instruction.
Decisão extraída
The complaint was admissible against the State Council decision because the appellant was entitled to rely on the incorrect appeal instruction and suffer no disadvantage from it.
Fundamentação extraída
Under the principle of good faith, an erroneous remedy instruction should not prejudice a party unless the defect was or should have been obvious with due care. That was not the case here.
