Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the ordered advance of costs within the deadline.
Extracted holding
No. The appeal was inadmissible because the advance of costs was not paid in time after valid service of the order.
Extracted reasoning
The 27 June 2008 order was deemed validly notified at the end of the postal holding period. Since the advance was not paid within the prescribed time, Article 62(3) of the Federal Supreme Court Act required a finding of inadmissibility.
