Généré par l'IAThis article defines the scope of appealable decisions, and its citation supports the finding that the appeal was inadmissible.
This article outlines the conditions for appealability, which were not met by the appellant, leading to the declaration of inadmissibility.
Cited in relation to the procedural context determining the admissibility of the appeal.
Cited in relation to the procedural context determining the admissibility of the appeal.
This article mandates the appellant to pay the costs following the declaration of inadmissibility (implied as the general costs provision for such cases, though the text only states 'CONDAMNE LE DEMANDEUR AUX DEPENS'). [Correction: Since the text explicitly cites 487, 493, 567, and 568, and these are the procedural grounds for inadmissibility, they are primary. The judgment states 'CONDAMNE LE DEMANDEUR AUX DEPENS' but does not explicitly cite a specific article for costs in the dispositive itself, only in the preceding reasoning section. Based strictly on the rule to only include provisions cited in the *dispositive* (the numbered orders), and noting the dispositive only contains 'DECLARE LE POURVOI IRRECEVABLE' followed by the cost order without citing a cost article, only the inadmissibility articles are strictly included.]
