Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal had to be entered into despite non-payment of the ordered advance on costs.
Solution extraite
No. Because the advance was not paid within the set time limit and no explanation was given, the appeal had to be declared inadmissible.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 47 paras. 2 and 3 LPA-VD, an advance on costs is generally required in administrative appeal proceedings. If the appellant is warned that failure to pay will lead to non-entry, the court may declare the appeal inadmissible when the advance remains unpaid.
