Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal had to be declared inadmissible because the appellant failed to advance the court fee in time.
Solution extraite
Yes. After two extensions and an explicit warning, the appellant still did not pay the advance by 8 April 2011, so the appeal was inadmissible.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 49(2) OELP the appellant must advance the justice fee; under Art. 90(3) CPC-VD, applied by reference through Art. 58(1) LVLP, failure to make the advance within the set time leads to forfeiture of the right to pursue the proceeding.
