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 made the appeal manifestly inadmissible.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 62 paras. 1 and 3 LTF, a party must advance the expected costs; if the advance is not paid within the additional deadline after an initial default, the appeal is inadmissible. The appellant did not comply, so the court applied Art. 108 para. 1 let. a LTF.
