Key legal question
Whether the appeal had to be declared inadmissible for failure to pay the court-cost advance within the extended deadline.
Extracted holding
Yes. The appellant did not pay the required advance of costs within the final extended time limit, so the appeal was inadmissible and the case had to be removed from the docket.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 49(2) OELP, the appellant must advance the court fee. Despite repeated extensions and warnings, no payment was made by the final deadline of 15 February 2010.
