Question juridique clé
Whether the late payment of the court advance justified restoration of the deadline for the cantonal appeal
Solution extraite
No. The reasons invoked—lack of money, work schedule, delayed payment documents, and being asked to explain the delay—did not amount to a non-fault impediment or an excusable mistake.
Motifs extraits
The advance request clearly stated the deadline, consequences of lateness, precautions, and the options of extension or legal aid. The appellant could have taken steps in time, including contacting a lawyer or requesting extension/legal aid. Her explanations did not show objective or subjective impossibility to act.
