Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the civil appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the advance on costs
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was inadmissible because the advance on costs was not paid within the prescribed time limit.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court noted that the advance had neither been paid nor credited, and no proof of payment had been received. Under the Federal Tribunal Act, failure to pay the advance within the time limit leads to inadmissibility.
