Key legal question
Whether the appeal could be entered into despite non-payment of the required court cost advance.
Extracted holding
No. Because the advance payment was not made within the deadline, the court had to refuse to enter into the appeal under the warning given.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant was granted a deadline and a statutory grace period until 2011-02-16 to pay CHF 2,000. As payment was still outstanding after expiry of the deadline, non-entry followed pursuant to Art. 108 BGG.
