Whether the appeal is admissible despite the appellant's failure to pay the court-ordered advance of costs.
No. Because the advance was not paid, no extension was requested, and no valid request for legal aid was filed, the appeal had to be declared inadmissible.
The appellant was warned of the consequences of non-payment and informed about legal aid. The order was sent twice, and after a further reminder the appellant remained silent. Under the cantonal procedural rules, non-payment after warning leads to non-entry into the merits.
