Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court's non-entry for failure to pay the cost advance violated the ban on excessive formalism and constitutional rights.
Decisione estratta
No. The appellant had been clearly warned, the deadline and amount were reasonable, and the failure to pay was attributable to her own conduct; no constitutional violation occurred.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that Art. 29(1) BV does not prohibit a procedural requirement to pay an advance when expressly ordered. The appellant had counsel, was informed of the consequences, and gave no valid reason for restoring the deadline. The court therefore found the non-entry decision constitutionally unobjectionable.
