The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal against a social insurance court's refusal to appoint a lawyer and rejection of a late personal appeal. The appellant had received the judgment copy and reasoning but failed to appear at the second-instance hearing and filed the appeal personally after the statutory deadline expired. The court ruled that since the appellant was properly notified and absent, they cannot expect the court to provide guidance on appeal procedures or extend the deadline.
