Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the ordered security deposit.
Solution extraite
No. Because the appellant did not pay the required security deposit in time and did not seek extension or restitution of the deadline, the appeal had to be declared inadmissible.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 383 para. 1-2 CPP, the appellate authority may require security and must not proceed if it is not furnished within the prescribed time. The notice was deemed served after the seven-day holding period, and the deadline expired without payment.
