Supreme Court dismisses cassation when service of judgment is valid even after client appoints counsel.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Krzysztof L. against a lower court's refusal to extend the deadline for filing a cassation. The applicant argued that the monthly deadline should run from the date his appointed lawyer received the judgment, as he had not yet formally established legal representation. The court ruled that service of the judgment on the party personally is legally effective regardless of subsequent appointment of counsel or receipt of free legal aid. Consequently, the appeal lacked merit because the procedural violation was not established and the cited articles did not apply to the specific issue of deadline extension.
