Key legal question
Whether the appeal had to be entered into despite non-payment of ordered security for costs under Article 383 CCP.
Extracted holding
No. Because the appellant failed to provide the required security within the prescribed period and did not seek an extension or restitution, the appeal was inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
Under Article 383 CCP, the appellate authority may require security for possible costs and indemnities. If the security is not provided in time, the authority must decline to enter into the appeal.
