Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the court costs advance within the deadline.
Decisione estratta
No; the appeal had to be declared inadmissible because the required advance on costs was not paid in time.
Motivazione estratta
The appellants were ordered to pay a CHF 500 advance and were given an additional deadline under Art. 62 para. 3 LTF, but no timely payment was made. Under Art. 108 para. 1 let. a LTF, the appeal is therefore inadmissible.
