Question juridique clé
Whether the civil appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the required advance of costs.
Solution extraite
No. Because the advance of costs was not paid within the prescribed time, the appeal had to be declared inadmissible.
Motifs extraits
The court noted that the advance was neither paid nor credited, and no proof of debit was produced within the extended deadline; under the Federal Supreme Court Act, this leads to inadmissibility.
