Key legal question
Whether the administrative appeal against the lower court judgment was admissible despite the untimely filing and later failure to provide security for costs.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the required security for costs was not paid within the deadline.
Extracted reasoning
The proceeding was subject to the former OJ because the challenged judgment predated the LTF. As the case did not concern benefits, it was costly; after the appellant ignored the order to provide CHF 500 security, the consequences of Art. 150 para. 4 OJ applied.
