Question juridique clé
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the court-ordered advance on costs.
Solution extraite
No. Because the advance on costs was not paid within the additional deadline, the appeal had to be declared inadmissible under the Federal Supreme Court Act.
Motifs extraits
The two payment orders were deemed served under Art. 44(2) LTF. Since the advance still was not paid after the extended deadline set under Art. 62(3) LTF, the statutory consequence of inadmissibility followed and the matter could be handled in simplified procedure under Art. 108(1)(a) LTF.
