Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal had to be entered into despite non-payment of the ordered security
Solution extraite
No. Because the appellant did not provide the required security in time and sought neither an extension nor restitution of the deadline, the appeal could not be considered.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 383 para. 1-2 CPP, the appellate authority may require security from the complainant; if it is not provided within the deadline, the appeal is inadmissible. The notice ordering security was deemed served after the seven-day holding period.
