The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal regarding whether voluntary payments made after a unilateral judgment count as debt reduction in restitution. The applicant argued that these payments should offset the principal debt, while the opposing party contended they were merely voluntary and not legally binding for debt reduction. The court ruled that such post-judgment payments do not automatically reduce the principal debt in restitution proceedings unless explicitly agreed upon.
