Open source

Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

B.________ appealed a cantonal social-insurance judgment to the Federal Court. He had been granted an additional deadline to pay the required advance on costs, with an express warning that failure to do so would render the appeal inadmissible. As the advance was not paid within the extended deadline, the single judge declared the appeal inadmissible in simplified proceedings and waived judicial costs.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 62 al. 3 LTF; art. 108 al. 1 let. a et al. 2 LTF: failure to pay the advance on costs within the additional time limit leads to non-entry on the appeal, provided the warning of inadmissibility was given. Where the defect is not cured in time, the Federal Court may decide by simplified procedure. Under art. 66 al. 1, second sentence, LTF, judicial costs may exceptionally be waived.
