Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the civil appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the advance on costs within the set deadline.
Decisione estratta
No; because the advance on costs was neither paid nor credited in time, the appeal had to be declared inadmissible.
Motivazione estratta
The court found that the advance was not paid within the prescribed period under the Federal Supreme Court Act; therefore, under the applicable provisions, the appeal could not proceed.
