The Supreme Court dismissed Lidia K.'s cassation against a 1994 final judgment, ruling it procedurally inadmissible. Although the new Civil Procedure Code introduced cassation for final judgments, it applied only to judgments rendered on or after July 1, 1996. The court held that parties cannot file cassations for pre-July 1996 judgments, reserving such review exclusively for the Minister of Justice or Ombudsman within two years of the new law's enactment.
