Appeal Inadmissibility Due to Insufficient Proof of Service Content
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe court found the appeal inadmissible because, although Article 23 of the Organic Decree of February 2, 1852, as modified, permits notification of an appeal to the defendant via simple registered mail to simplify the process, this provision does not relieve the appellant of the obligation to provide irrefutable proof that the notification itself, specifically communicating the appeal, was properly served. The court reasoned that mere postal receipts or returned registered letters do not necessarily establish the content of the letter as the appeal notification, and that proof of such notification requires an official act by a public officer or sworn agent, which was absent in this case, as only receipts and non-delivered registered letters were presented.
