Supreme Court dismisses extraordinary review for late filing, allowing partial interest award despite bankruptcy law.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the extraordinary review filed by the First President of the Supreme Court due to a procedural violation. The plaintiff sought interest on a severance payment from a bankrupt employer, arguing the debt belonged to the bankruptcy estate, while the defendant contended bankruptcy law suspended interest accrual from the declaration date. Although the review was procedurally inadmissible, the Court noted the interest awarded was small and did not harm the state's interest, thus allowing the lower court's partial award to stand.
