Questão jurídica principal
Whether the criminal appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the court-ordered advance on costs
Decisão extraída
No. Because the advance of costs was not paid within the additional deadline, the recourse had to be declared inadmissible.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 62(1) and (3) LTF, failure to pay the requested advance, after an additional deadline and warning, makes the appeal inadmissible; the court therefore declined to enter into the merits under Art. 108(1)(a) LTF.
