Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a social insurance office against a second-instance judgment rendered before the new Civil Procedure Law on court costs came into effect. The appellant argued that the old law exempting insured persons from court fees should apply to the appeal, while the opposing party contended that the new law governs appeals filed after its enactment. The court ruled that because the second-instance judgment was final and ended the instance proceedings, the new law applies to the subsequent cassation appeal filed after the law's entry into force.
