Criminal procedure: Court held no obligation to cross-examine parties if submitted documents lack evidentiary value.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the defendant against the second-instance labor court's judgment. The defendant argued that the lower court violated procedural rules by refusing to cross-examine her regarding new documents submitted during the appeal, claiming these documents should have been treated as evidence. The court rejected this, ruling that since the submitted documents lacked evidentiary value and the facts were already clarified by expert testimony, there was no legal basis to order a cross-examination under the relevant procedural articles.
