Appeal Dismissed for Untimely Service of Amplifying Brief in Divorce Proceedings
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Court considered an appeal in cassation filed against a ruling on provisional measures during divorce proceedings, which was later converted to separation of the person, noting that Article 5, al. 2 of the Decree of December 22, 1967, prescribes a one-month deadline for the appellant to serve the amplifying brief on the respondent, subject to forfeiture of the appeal. Since the amplifying brief, filed on September 10, 1971, was served on the respondent only via a bailiff's writ dated October 27, 1971—exceeding the one-month period after the brief was brought to the respondent's attention through police services on October 7, 1971—the Court found the respondent's plea for forfeiture of the appeal well-founded and declared the appeal dismissed.
