Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the required advance on costs after an extended deadline.
Extracted holding
No. Because the appellant neither paid the advance of CHF 600 nor applied for legal aid within the final extended deadline, the appeal had to be declared inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 98 CPC the court may require an advance of the presumed judicial costs; if it is not paid within the additional deadline fixed after an initial non-payment, the court will not enter into the matter under Art. 101 para. 3 CPC.
