Key legal question
Whether the criminal appeal was admissible despite late payment of the court-cost advance.
Extracted holding
No. Because the advance was not credited within the additional deadline, the appeal had to be declared inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 62 para. 1 and 3 LTF, failure to pay the required advance after an additional deadline leads to inadmissibility. The payment order was given on 22 November 2010, but the amount was credited only on 23 November 2010, after expiry of the deadline.
