Questão jurídica principal
Whether the administrative law appeal should be entered into despite non-payment of the ordered cost advance.
Decisão extraída
No entry was possible because the advance was not paid within the set period and the service was deemed completed after the postal collection period expired.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the advance payment order, sent as a court registered item and returned uncollected, was deemed served on the last day of the seven-day collection period. Since the appellant had already filed the appeal and had reason to expect official correspondence, he had to bear the consequences of failing to pay the advance in time.
