Key legal question
Whether the appeal had to be heard despite non-payment of the court cost advance
Extracted holding
No. Because the advance costs were not paid even within the extended deadline, the Federal Supreme Court could not enter into the appeal.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 62 BGG requires payment of an advance for expected court costs. If the advance is not paid within the set and extended deadline, Art. 62(3) BGG authorizes non-entry. The appellant's objections to the advance-cost requirement had no basis in the clear statutory rule.
