Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal could be entered into despite late payment of the advance on costs.
Solution extraite
No. Because the second installment was paid after the deadline, the Federal Court could not examine the merits and the appeal was inadmissible.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 62(3) LTF, failure to pay the advance on costs within the set time limit leads to inadmissibility; the payment was made after expiry of the final deadline.
