Appeal Regarding Late Cost Advance Payment Due to Representative's Error

In an appeal proceeding, a cost advance payment ordered by the court was submitted late because the represented party was absent, claiming they were unaware of the order until their return, despite the document having been served on their legal representative, who received it before the deadline. The court ruled that under relevant procedural law, service on the representative is legally binding upon the party, making the representative responsible for ensuring all necessary actions, including the timely payment of cost advances, are taken, thus the party's absence was irrelevant and the delay unexcusable.
