Supreme Court allows appeal because filing for counsel was mistaken for a cassation appeal.

The Supreme Court of Poland overturned the appellate court's dismissal of a cassation appeal. The applicant had filed a request for a court-appointed lawyer, which the lower court incorrectly treated as the cassation petition itself. The Supreme Court determined that since the request for counsel was not a cassation appeal, the lower court's rejection of the cassation was without subject matter.
