Supreme Court dismisses cassation on procedural grounds regarding late supplementary appeal and res judicata.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a district court's judgment in a wage dispute. The plaintiff had filed a supplementary appeal after the deadline, seeking to reopen claims already finally decided by a prior judgment. The court ruled that the supplementary appeal was inadmissible because the disputed claims were already resolved by a final decision, making the legal path for such claims closed under civil procedure law. Consequently, the cassation was rejected as it lacked justified grounds for overturning the lower court's application of res judicata principles.
