Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal had to be declared inadmissible because the ordered security for costs was not paid on time.
Solution extraite
Yes. Because the appellant did not pay the required security within the set deadline, the appeal was inadmissible.
Motifs extraits
The Court had ordered CHF 15,000 as security for presumed judicial costs and warned that non-payment would lead to inadmissibility. Counsel merely protested the refusal of legal aid and stated the client could not pay; no withdrawal was filed and payment did not occur. Under Art. 150 al. 4 OG, applicable via Art. 132 al. 1 LTF, the appeal was therefore inadmissible.
