Supreme Court dismisses appeal for retrial as no statutory ground exists for lack of counsel presence.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiffs' appeal for retrial regarding a payment claim against a coal mine. The plaintiffs argued that the proceedings were invalid because their legal representative neglected to attend the final hearing before the Supreme Court. The court rejected this claim because the appeal lacked a specific statutory basis for retrial under the Civil Procedure Code. Since the alleged issue concerned the conduct of a properly authorized agent rather than a procedural defect voiding the trial, the request for retrial was inadmissible.

AI generatedArt. 407, 410 § 1, 401, 403 KPC: An appeal for retrial must rest on a statutory ground; a mere suggestion of invalidity due to a lawyer's negligence without meeting the criteria for voidness under Art. 401 § 2 KPC does not constitute a valid basis for retrial.
