Question juridique clé
Whether the criminal appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the advance on costs within the extended deadline.
Solution extraite
No. Failure to pay the required advance within the additional time limit rendered the appeal manifestly inadmissible.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 62(1) and (3) LTF, a party must advance the expected costs; if the required sum is not paid within the supplementary deadline, the appeal is inadmissible. The appellant did not comply even after being warned under Art. 48(4) LTF, so the appeal had to be rejected under Art. 108(1)(a) LTF.
