Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal could be dismissed for non-payment of the cost advance although the payment deadline expired before the mail pickup period ended.
Decisione estratta
The deadline should have taken the postal pickup period into account, but the appellant remained inactive after learning of the order and failed to seek reinstatement or otherwise react; that silence breached good faith and did not merit protection.
Motivazione estratta
A party who notices a burdensome procedural order must act immediately to protect its rights. Even if the deadline was set too tightly, the appellant could and should have reacted upon receipt of the order rather than waiting until the appeal was declared lapsed.
