Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal could proceed despite non-payment of the required cost advance.
Decisione estratta
The appeal could not proceed; the court had to decline to enter into the merits after the advance was not paid within the set time limit.
Motivazione estratta
The case was cost-bearing under the applicable rules. Free legal aid had been refused as the appeal lacked prospects of success, the appellant was warned that failure to pay the advance would lead to non-entry, and the advance was nevertheless not paid in time. Article 150(4) OG therefore required non-entry.
