Whether the appeal had to be entered into despite late payment of the advance on costs.
No. The appellant neither paid within the deadline nor sought an extension or showed excusable impediment, so the appeal was inadmissible.
Under Art. 47 LPA-VD, a party must pay the advance within the time limit; non-payment after warning leads to non-entry. The appellant was warned, paid only after the deadline, and gave no justification or request for restitutio in integrum.
