Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal could proceed despite non-payment of the advance on costs.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal could not proceed and the court entered no judgment on the merits because the advance on costs was not paid within the set deadline.
Extrahierte Begründung
The appellant had been ordered under Art. 62 BGG to pay a CHF 500 advance, warned that failure to pay within the extended deadline would lead to non-entry, and did not comply; therefore Art. 62(3) in conjunction with Art. 108(1)(a) BGG required non-entry.
