Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the late payment of the appeal filing fee could lawfully lead to inadmissibility of the appeal.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The inadmissibility resulted from a sufficient legal basis in cantonal law, interpreted consistently with the constitutional requirement of timely proceedings.
Extrahierte Begründung
The cantonal provisions on court fees and labour-court procedure allowed advance payment of the filing fee. Although the sanction was not expressly stated in the law, the court held that a deadline with a consequence for non-compliance was necessary to avoid indefinite delay and could be derived from the relevant procedural provisions and the principle of expedition.
