Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court overturned the appellate court's dismissal of a second cassation appeal filed within the statutory period. The applicant had previously lodged a cassation appeal that was rejected due to missing document copies, yet she submitted a new appeal within the open deadline. The court ruled that no statutory provision prohibits a party from filing a second cassation appeal if the first was rejected for formal defects, provided the second is timely filed.
