Key legal question
Whether the deadline for paying the court-fee advance should be restored after non-payment despite notice to counsel.
Extracted holding
No restoration was warranted because notice to the professional representative was attributable to the appellant, who had to give timely instructions and funds.
Extracted reasoning
No excessive formalism arose where the parties were properly warned of the amount, deadline, and consequences; the appellant was represented by counsel and had to organize payment before traveling abroad.
