Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Federal Supreme Court could enter into the appeal despite non-payment of the advance costs.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Because the advance on costs was neither paid nor covered by a debit notice, the Court could not consider the appeal.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 48(4) and Art. 62(3) LTF, failure to pay the advance on costs within the set time limit prevents entry into the merits. The appellant’s renewed request for legal aid did not justify revisiting the earlier refusal, since no argument capable of reopening that decision was raised.
