The Supreme Court dismissed the Social Insurance Institution's appeal against a lower court's rejection of its cassation. The institution argued its lawyer had full authority, but the court found the appeal lacked a proper representative and was signed by an unauthorized person using only a seal. The court ruled that formal defects regarding the legal representative are incurable unless the mandatory lawyer requirement is clearly met, leading to the appeal's inadmissibility.
