Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by lawyer Mark T. against a final disciplinary decision, ruling that cassation is not available for such cases. The court noted that while the Criminal Procedure Code introduced cassation for criminal proceedings, the Lawyers Act specifically preserved the institution of extraordinary review for disciplinary matters. Consequently, the court applied the rules of extraordinary review rather than cassation, deeming the appeal inadmissible.
