AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a decision rejecting a late social security appeal. The applicant argued that her change of mind regarding litigation, influenced by legal advice, constituted an independent cause for the delay. The court held that such a change of mind is a self-inflicted error and does not qualify as an independent cause under the relevant statute.
