Supreme Court dismissed appeal for non-appealable decision due to improper use of cassation instead of appeal.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal against a lower court's decision rejecting the appeal, noting the appellant filed a cassation complaint instead. The appellant, represented by a professional lawyer, failed to file a timely appeal against the second-instance court's order rejecting his appeal, incorrectly believing a cassation complaint was the proper remedy. The court ruled that because the appellant was a professional legal representative, he was bound to know the correct procedural remedy, rendering the cassation complaint inadmissible and the appeal against the rejection of cassation procedurally impossible to review.
