Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal had to be declared inadmissible because the advance on costs was not paid in time.
Solution extraite
Yes. The appellant did not comply with the payment order, and the appeal was therefore inadmissible.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 44(2) LTF, a communication requiring signature is deemed received no later than seven days after the first unsuccessful delivery attempt. Since the appellant did not retrieve the orders and still failed to pay within the extended deadline, Art. 62(3) LTF required a finding of inadmissibility; the matter could be handled in simplified procedure under Art. 108(1)(a) LTF.
