Whether the appeal had to be entered into despite failure to provide security within the deadline.
No. Because the ordered security was not paid in time and no extension or restitution was requested, the appeal could not be heard.
Under Art. 383(1)-(2) CCP, the appellate court may require security for costs; if it is not furnished within the deadline, the court does not enter into the appeal. The appellant received notice and still did not pay.
