The court dismissed the appeal regarding the nullity of a postal citation, ruling that the defendant must raise this defect immediately upon first intervention. The defendant failed to object to the citation method during their initial appearance, leading the tribunal to deem the procedural flaw cured. Consequently, the court held that the lack of timely objection precludes any subsequent challenge to the validity of the summons.
