Time Limits and Notice Requirements in Administrative Appeals

Quick fact

In many administrative appeals, missing the statutory filing deadline by even a single day is fatal, often without exception, because the time limits are considered jurisdictional and cannot be waived or extended by the court.

Why this is interesting

Imagine you have a legitimate complaint against a government agency, but you miss a filing deadline by one day—your entire case is dismissed without a hearing. How can something so technical have such sweeping consequences?
