Question juridique clé
Whether the criminal appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the advance on costs
Solution extraite
No. Because the required advance was not paid even after the additional deadline, the appeal had to be declared inadmissible.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 62(1) and (3) LTF, failure to pay the prescribed advance within the additional time limit leads to inadmissibility; the appeal was therefore manifestly inadmissible under Art. 108(1)(a) LTF.
