Key legal question
Whether the appeal could be heard despite non-payment of the ordered advance of costs
Extracted holding
No; the appellant failed to pay the required advance within the time limit and did not show any excusable reason or timely payment.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 69(1bis) LAI and Art. 47(3) LPA-VD, the court may require an advance of costs and warn that failure to pay leads to non-entry into the matter. The appellant neither paid in time nor replied to the court's later notice.
