Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal could be entertained despite non-payment of the cost advance within the extended deadline.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The appellant did not pay the required advance within the grace period, and the belated token payment of CHF 1 did not cure the default.
Extrahierte Begründung
A request for legal aid can preserve the deadline only if it is properly reasoned and supported by adequate evidence of financial hardship. The appellant's submission lacked both.
