Key legal question
Whether the criminal appeal had to be declared inadmissible for failure to provide security in time.
Extracted holding
Yes. The appellant did not pay the required advance of costs within the deadline, so the court could not enter into the appeal.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 383 para. 1-2 CPP, the appeal authority may require security for costs and, if it is not provided in time, must not enter into the appeal. The appellant did not comply with the order of 17 September 2013 setting a deadline of 7 October 2013.
