Questão jurídica principal
Whether the criminal appeal could be entered into despite non-payment of the court advance.
Decisão extraída
No; because the advance was not paid within the set deadline or the extension, the appeal was not entered into under Art. 108 BGG.
Fundamentação extraída
The Federal Supreme Court had warned that failure to pay the CHF 2,000 advance by 14 January 2008 would lead to non-entry. Since payment was not made, the appeal had to be rejected procedurally.
