Question juridique clé
Whether the criminal appeal was admissible despite the appellant's failure to provide ordered security for costs within the deadline.
Solution extraite
The appeal was inadmissible because the ordered security was not paid in time and no extension or restitution of the deadline was requested.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 383(1) and (2) CPP, the appeal authority may require security; if it is not provided within the prescribed time, the authority does not enter into the appeal. The notice ordering payment was deemed duly served after the seven-day holding period, and the appellant took no steps to cure the default.
