The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal against a social insurance decision regarding disability benefits. The appellant argued that the court failed to instruct them on how to file a cassation, leading the lawyer to file it personally while requesting court-appointed counsel. The court rejected this, ruling that the Civil Procedure Code strictly requires a cassation to be signed by an authorized representative, and a personal filing by an unqualified party renders the appeal inadmissible regardless of the lawyer's request for assistance.
