Question juridique clé
Whether the civil appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the required advance costs within the final deadline.
Solution extraite
No. Because the required advance was not paid within the additional non-extendable deadline, the appeal had to be declared inadmissible under the simplified procedure.
Motifs extraits
Art. 62(3) BGG requires an appropriate deadline for the advance and, if unpaid, a further deadline; failure to pay within the second deadline renders the appeal inadmissible. The Federal Supreme Court therefore applied Art. 108 BGG.
