Sintesi Omnilex

X. appealed to the Federal Supreme Court in a tenancy eviction matter. After the Court ordered an advance on costs of CHF 3,000 and granted an additional deadline, the appellant still did not pay. The Court therefore held the appeal inadmissible for failure to pay the advance on costs. It also ordered that no judicial costs be charged. The decision was issued by the President of the First Civil Law Court.

Massima Omnilex

Art. 62 al. 3 LTF, Art. 108 al. 1 let. a LTF; inadmissibility for non-payment of the advance on costs. If the appellant fails to pay the advance on costs within the original or extended deadline, the appeal is not entered into. The prerequisite is objective non-compliance with the payment order; the Court may decide by summary order under Art. 108 al. 1 let. a LTF. Where no judicial costs are levied, this must be expressly stated in the operative part.

Le Président:
Vu le recours interjeté par X.________ contre l'arrêt de la Chambre d'appel en matière de baux et loyers du canton de Genève du 8 octobre 2007 dans la cause précitée.

Vu l'ordonnance du 9 novembre 2007 invitant la recourante à verser jusqu'au 26 novembre 2007 une avance de frais de 3000 fr. et l'ordonnance du 4 décembre 2007 fixant en application de l'art. 62 al. 3 LTF un délai supplémentaire jusqu'au 17 décembre 2007.
