Consumer Association Appeal on Home Solicitation Law Violations Dismissed for Procedural Defect
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe civil party, a consumer association, appealed a decision from the Court of Appeal of Lyon which had declared its civil constitution inadmissible in proceedings against individuals for violations of the home solicitation law. The Court of Cassation rejected the appeal because the required personal submissions accompanying the appeal were not signed by the legal representative of the association as mandated by Article 584 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, but only by its counsel who was also an honorary vice-president, meaning the submissions did not properly seize the Court of Cassation of any potential grounds for review.
