Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal could be entered into despite non-payment of the ordered advance of costs.
Decisione estratta
No. Because the appellant did not pay the CHF 400 advance within the deadline and did not respond when invited to comment, the appeal had to be declared inadmissible.
Motivazione estratta
In AI benefit disputes before the cantonal insurance court, proceedings are subject to court costs and the appellant must provide an advance of costs. The appellant was duly warned that failure to pay within the deadline would result in non-entry. As no payment was made and no response followed, the court could not examine the merits.
