Key legal question
Whether the appeal must be declared inadmissible because the advance on costs was not paid within the deadline.
Extracted holding
Yes. Because the advance was not paid within the time limit, the appeal was inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
The court noted that the advance of costs had neither been paid nor credited within the prescribed, non-extendable deadline. Under the Federal Supreme Court Act, this required a finding of inadmissibility and costs were to be borne by the appellant.
