Key legal question
Whether the appeal had to be declared inadmissible because the advance on costs was not paid within the time limits set by the judge.
Extracted holding
Yes. After two deadlines and a warning under Art. 62(3) LTF, the unpaid advance on costs made the appeal inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
The court applied Art. 62 LTF: an advance on costs must be paid within the set period; if not paid, a further period is granted; if still unpaid, the appeal is inadmissible. The appellant failed to pay within both deadlines.
