Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal could be heard despite the absence of the required cost advance and a compliant fee-waiver request.
Solution extraite
No. The request for fee waiver was neither sufficiently reasoned nor supported by the required municipal certificate, and the cost advance was not paid in time.
Motifs extraits
The deadline for the advance or a properly substantiated exemption request expired on 1997-05-05. The complainant only requested an extension for the written submission, not for the advance or fee-waiver request. Under the applicable procedural rules, the authority could therefore refuse to enter into the complaint.
