Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal is admissible despite non-payment of the ordered fee advance
Extracted holding
The appeal is inadmissible because the appellant did not pay the required advance within the non-extendable time limit after valid deemed service of the payment orders.
Extracted reasoning
The two federal court orders requesting an advance were deemed served under Art. 44 al. 2 LTF after the postal holding period expired. The file showed no payment and no bank/postal debit attestation, so the sanction of Art. 62 al. 3 LTF applied under the simplified procedure of Art. 108 al. 1 let. a LTF.
