Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal could be entered into despite non-payment of the required advance on costs.
Extracted holding
No. Because the appellant neither paid the advance within the non-extendable grace period nor proved timely payment by account debit confirmation, the appeal could not be heard.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the appellant was warned of non-entry under Art. 62(3) BGG, but still did not pay the advance in cash or through the prescribed postal/bank channel and did not submit the required confirmation. Therefore non-entry followed under Art. 108(1)(a) BGG.
