Question juridique clé
Whether the criminal appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the court advance fee within the extended deadline.
Solution extraite
No. Failure to pay the advance fee within the additional deadline rendered the appeal manifestly inadmissible.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 62(1) and (3) LTF, the appellant must advance expected costs; if the required advance is not paid even after an additional deadline following initial non-payment, the appeal must be declared inadmissible. The appellant did not pay by 16 August 2013, so Art. 108(1)(a) LTF applied.
