Whether the appeal had to be declared inadmissible because the ordered security for costs was not paid in time.
The appeal was inadmissible because the appellant failed to provide the required security within the deadline.
Under Art. 383(1) and (2) CCP, the appeal authority may require security from the private complainant; if the security is not provided on time, the authority will not entertain the appeal. The court found the payment had not been made within the prescribed period.
