Late Appeal Following Motion for Material Error Correction

The appellant sought to overturn a judgment by filing an appeal after the deadline had passed, having only filed a *requête en rectification d'erreur matérielle* (request for correction of a material error) which does not suspend the period for filing an appeal against the original decision. The appellate court, finding that the request for correction did not interrupt the appeal period, ruled that the appeal filing was therefore late and declared the act of seizing the court to be without effect.
