Key legal question
Whether the appeal could be entered into despite non-payment of the required advance of costs.
Extracted holding
No. Because the appellant was duly warned, failed to pay the advance within the set deadline, and showed no excusable reason or proof of timely payment, the appeal had to be declared inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 69 para. 1bis LAI and Art. 47 paras. 2-3 LPA-VD, advance payment is generally required and non-payment after warning leads to non-entry into the matter.
