Question juridique clé
Whether the deadline to pay the court advance should be restored under Art. 35 OG
Solution extraite
No. The applicant and his counsel were not prevented by an unavoidable obstacle; restoration requires clear absence of fault, which was not shown.
Motifs extraits
The applicant had been expressly warned of the consequences of non-payment. He did not explain why he could not timely request legal aid, an extension, or instruct counsel. Therefore the conditions for restoration were not met.
