The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal against a lower court's decision to reject a request for restoring the deadline to pay civil court fees. The lawyer representing the client failed to pay the required fee and later claimed inability to contact the client due to a personal trip, but the court found this insufficient justification. The court ruled that the lawyer should have anticipated the need to pay the fee and that the lower court correctly determined the delay was self-inflicted.

Art. 380 k.p.c.; Art. 3941 § 3 k.p.c.; Art. 39821 k.p.c.: A request to restore a deadline for paying court fees does not justify an appeal against a decision rejecting that request, and mere difficulty in contacting the client does not excuse failure to pay within the statutory period.
