Supreme Court dismisses appeal because court notice cannot override statutory calculation of appeal deadlines.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal against the rejection of their cassation, ruling that the appeal was filed after the statutory deadline. Although the court's clerk informed the appointed lawyer that the deadline was March 3, 2001, the court held that monthly deadlines must be calculated strictly according to civil law rules, expiring on March 1. The court emphasized that such procedural timelines have an statutory character and cannot be altered by any information provided by the court or its secretariat.
