Questão jurídica principal
Whether the federal appeal was filed within the statutory time limit.
Decisão extraída
The appeal was late because the cantonal judgment was deemed notified on 18 October 2013 and the appeal period expired on 18 November 2013, while the appeal was posted only on 29 November 2013.
Fundamentação extraída
Under the notification rules of the LTF, the unsuccessful postal delivery and expiry of the seven-day retention period determined the deemed date of communication; the appellant had to bear the consequences of not ensuring receipt after initiating the cantonal proceedings.
