Question juridique clé
Whether the time limit for paying the advance fee should be restored under Art. 35(1) OG.
Solution extraite
No restoration was granted because the appellant failed to show any misleading wording in the Federal Court form or any excusable cause for the late payment.
Motifs extraits
The form expressly required the bank to set the due date as the last day of the payment period; the appellant did not instruct the bank accordingly. The court also clarified that the form's reference to postal processing time made the lateness foreseeable.
