Key legal question
Whether the criminal appeal had to be admitted despite the failure to pay court security within the time limit.
Extracted holding
No. Because the ordered security was not paid and no extension or reinstatement was requested, the appeal could not be examined.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 383(1)-(2) CPP, the appellate court may require security from the private complainant to cover costs and compensation; if it is not provided in time, the court does not enter into the appeal. The notice requiring security was deemed served under Art. 85(4)(a) CPP.
