Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible despite late payment of the ordered advance of costs.
Extracted holding
No. The advance was not paid within the set deadline, and no justified impediment or timely request for restoration of time was shown.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant had been warned that failure to pay would lead to non-entry. Under the applicable procedural rules, the court had to decline to hear the appeal when the advance was not timely paid.
