Key legal question
Whether the constitutional appeal was admissible despite failure to pay the requested advance costs within the deadlines.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the required advance of costs was not paid within the time limits set by the court.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant did not comply with the advance-cost orders of 4 November and 24 November 2008; under Art. 62 para. 3 LTF, non-payment within the extended deadline renders the appeal inadmissible. The appeal was therefore not examined on the merits pursuant to Art. 108 para. 1 lit. a LTF.
