Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal had to be declared inadmissible for non-payment of the required advance of costs after refusal of legal aid.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The appellant did not pay the CHF 500 advance within the deadline, so the appeal had to be declared inadmissible.
Motivazione estratta
Because the case was not about insurance benefits, the procedure was costly. Legal aid was refused, a new deadline to pay the advance was set with a clear warning, and the advance was not paid.
