The Supreme Court overturned the lower court's rejection of the plaintiff's appeal, ruling that the lawyer's dismissal was ineffective until the court was notified. The plaintiff's former lawyer submitted the appeal before the court received notice of the client's instruction to withdraw him. The court held that procedural acts by a former lawyer remain valid until the court is informed of the withdrawal, thereby preserving the appeal's timeliness.
