Key legal question
Whether the Federal Administrative Court was entitled to declare the appeal inadmissible for non-payment of the full advance of costs within the deadline.
Extracted holding
Yes. The appellant had been expressly warned of the shortfall and given a deadline to cure it, but did not do so.
Extracted reasoning
It did not matter whether the bank caused the shortfall. What mattered was that the appellant was notified of the insufficient amount and of the consequence of inadmissibility, yet failed to pay the missing CHF 7 in time.
