Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal had to be entered into despite non-payment of the advance on costs.
Decisione estratta
No. Because the required advance on costs was not paid within the time limits, the appeal was inadmissible.
Motivazione estratta
The court noted that the advance of CHF 4,000 was ordered and a further deadline granted under Art. 62(3) LTF; the amount still was not paid, so inadmissibility followed under Art. 108(1)(a) LTF.
