Supreme Court dismisses appeal on counsel appointment as it only covers rejected cassation appeals.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially dismissed the appellant's appeal regarding a lower court's refusal to appoint counsel and rejection of the cassation. The appellant argued for counsel appointment and cassation rejection, but the lower court denied counsel due to cost issues and rejected cassation because it was filed personally by the appellant rather than by a lawyer. The Supreme Court ruled that an appeal to the Supreme Court is only admissible against a second-instance decision rejecting cassation, making the portion concerning counsel appointment inadmissible, while the cassation rejection was upheld as legally sound.
