Key legal question
Whether the criminal appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the advance on costs within the extended deadline.
Extracted holding
No. Failure to pay the required advance within the additional time limit made the appeal manifestly inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 62 paras. 1 and 3 LTF, a party must advance the expected costs; if the advance is not paid within the additional deadline after an initial default, the appeal is inadmissible. The appellant did not comply, so the court applied Art. 108 para. 1 let. a LTF.
