Key legal question
Whether the request for installment payment of the advance court cost was admissible and could be considered
Extracted holding
The request was not admissible because it was not formally substantiated, and in any event could not have been granted because the first installment would have fallen after the non-extendable deadline.
Extracted reasoning
A payment arrangement must be properly requested and timely; a first payment after expiry of the final deadline cannot cure non-payment.
