Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court overturned the appellate court's decision to dismiss the applicant's request for restoring a deadline and serving judgment documents. The applicant argued that the lawyer lacked authority for the appeal stage and that service was invalid because the business address was defunct. The court ruled that the lower court erred in applying service rules to a non-residential address and failed to verify the lawyer's continued mandate.
