Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal court rightly refused to enter into the appeal for failure to pay the cost advance on time.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The advance had not been paid within the set deadline, and the late legal aid request did not cure the default.
Fundamentação extraída
In social insurance disputes under Art. 69(1bis) IVG, the cantonal appeal procedure is subject to costs. A party filing a remedy must generally pay an advance; if no request for legal aid is filed within the advance period, the court may not exempt the party ex officio. The appellant's prior grants of legal aid in other proceedings created no entitlement in this case.
