Headnote: Payment of the appeal fee does not in itself constitute the valid filing of the appeal. Consequently, where there is no appeal, it is not for the board of appeal to judge whether there has been a substantial procedural violation by the first instance, whose decision therefore definitively acquires the force of res judicata.
