Key legal question
Whether the federal complaint could be entered into despite the unpaid advance payment.
Extracted holding
No. Because the advance payment was not made within the non-extendable deadline and proof of timely payment was not provided, the complaint had to be dismissed without entry.
Extracted reasoning
The court had warned of non-entry under Art. 62(3) BGG. The complainant neither paid the CHF 1,000 advance in cash nor deposited it at a post office for the benefit of the federal court, nor produced the required debit confirmation. The later request for legal aid did not change the result because it was filed after expiry of the deadline.
