Questão jurídica principal
Whether the civil appeal could be entered into despite non-payment of the required advance on costs.
Decisão extraída
No. Because the advance on costs was neither paid nor credited within the set time limit, the Court could not hear the appeal.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Arts. 48(4) and 62(3) LTF, non-payment of the advance prevents entry into the merits. The appellant did not provide grounds for revisiting the earlier refusal of legal aid, so the payment duty remained in force.
