Whether the appeal had to be entered into despite non-payment of the ordered advance on costs.
No. The appellant did not pay the advance within the prescribed period, did not request an extension or legal aid in time, and gave no excuse preventing timely payment.
Under Art. 69(1bis) LAI and Art. 47(2)-(4) LPA-VD, an advance on costs may be required and the court must refuse to hear the appeal if the advance is not paid within the deadline after warning the party of the consequence.
