Cassation court dismisses appeal as inadmissible because the alleged crime was already res judicata before the appeal. The court ruled the appeal is inadmissible because the crime cited in the second part of the appealed judgment had already become res judicata at the time of the territorial court's decision, meaning the appellate court could not review its prescription. Consequently, the appeal is declared inadmissible and the appellant is ordered to pay procedural costs and a fine. The court established that an appellate court lacks jurisdiction to examine prescription issues for facts that were already definitively settled by a prior judgment. Keywords: res judicata; prescription; inadmissibility; appeal; criminal law; Cassation; procedural bar. My client is appealing a second-instance judgment that found a crime from the second part of the original decision had expired, but the opposing party argues this crime was already final and binding before the appeal began. What can I do? Is this possible?
