Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the administrative appeal because the hierarchical appeal deadline did not exclude weekends, Sundays, holidays, or vacations. The appellant argued for the exclusion of these days based on general procedural principles, but the court found the specific administrative regulation governing the deadline did not incorporate the civil procedure rule allowing such exclusions. Consequently, the appeal was deemed untimely as it was filed outside the strict 30-day period calculated without non-working day adjustments.
