Supreme Court dismisses appeal; no duty to instruct unrepresented parties on evidence if first instance had opportunity.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a social insurance court ruling denying a disability pension. The applicant argued that the appellate court violated procedural law by failing to instruct her, who appeared without a lawyer, on the necessity of submitting evidence regarding her insurance record. The court held that since the opportunity to present such evidence existed in the first instance, the second instance court was not obligated to provide additional instructions under the relevant Civil Procedure Code articles. Consequently, the court ruled that the lower court's decision did not constitute a procedural error warranting the cassation. The appeal was rejected because the applicant failed to prove that the lack of instruction prevented the proper resolution of the case.
