The Supreme Court permitted an appeal against a lower court's revocation of a lawyer's appointment but rejected the request to substitute the new counsel. The parties argued that the original appointment was flawed and that the new lawyer should be replaced after settlement negotiations concluded. The court ruled that while the procedural error regarding the initial appointment warranted reversal, the substantive request to appoint a different lawyer lacked sufficient legal basis.
