Key legal question
Whether the ten-day deadline for paying the appeal registration fee was unconstitutionally formalistic.
Extracted holding
No. The fee notice stated the amount, deadline, and consequence of non-payment, which met constitutional minimum requirements.
Extracted reasoning
The prohibition of excessive formalism is violated only where procedural formalities are excessive and unjustified. When a remedy is expressly subject to timely payment of a fee, this is permissible if the party is adequately informed of the amount, deadline, and consequences.
