Resumo Omnilex

The Federal Supreme Court declared the inheritance-partition appeal inadmissible because the appellant did not pay the required advance on costs within the deadline. After refusing legal aid, the Court had granted a 10-day period to pay the CHF 3,000 advance and then an additional 10 days, but payment still was not made in time. The appeal was therefore not entered into under Art. 62(3) LTF, and the appellant was ordered to bear the judicial costs of CHF 500.

Sumário Omnilex

Art. 62 al. 3 LTF; failure to pay the required advance on costs within the set time limit results in non-entry into the appeal proceedings. Where the appellant does not comply even after an additional time limit, the appeal is declared inadmissible. In such a case, judicial costs are charged to the appellant pursuant to Art. 66 al. 1 LTF; the matter may be decided by a single judge under Art. 108 al. 1 let. a LTF.

recours contre le jugement de la IIe Cour civile
du Tribunal cantonal du canton de Neuchâtel du 20 mai 2008.

Vu:
le mémoire de recours du 17 juin 2008;
l'ordonnance du 24 juin 2008 refusant au recourant le bénéfice de l'assistance judiciaire et l'invitant à effectuer dans un délai de 10 jours une avance de frais de 3'000 fr.;

l'attestation de la Caisse du Tribunal fédéral du 14 août 2008;

considérant:
que l'avance de frais n'a pas été versée en temps utile, de sorte que le recours doit être déclaré irrecevable (art. 62 al. 3 LTF), aux frais de son auteur (art. 66 al. 1 LTF);
que le présent arrêt relève de la compétence du juge unique (art. 108 al. 1 let. a LTF);

Le recours est irrecevable.
