Supreme Court voids appeal proceedings when a co-defendant formally appeals against a judgment not addressed to them.

The Supreme Court declared the appeal proceedings void because the Court of Appeal ruled against a defendant based solely on an appeal filed by a co-defendant. The lower court had issued a final judgment against one entity while ignoring the appeal lodged by another formal co-defendant regarding a different party. The court held that a co-defendant can only appeal their own judgment, making the appeal procedurally inadmissible and the subsequent ruling void.
