Competence to investigate forgery: civil versus criminal jurisdiction under CPC and CCP
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed as inadmissible the request for a preliminary ruling filed by a Court of Appeal. The underlying dispute concerned a procedural conflict of competence: whether the power to investigate allegations of forgery (fals) belongs to the civil or criminal jurisdiction. The court applied Article 521(3) of the Code of Civil Procedure to determine the inadmissibility of the referral, leaving the substantive legal question regarding the interpretation of Article 308 of the Code of Civil Procedure in correlation with Article 5491 of the Code of Criminal Procedure unresolved at the supreme court level.
