Supreme Court dismisses appeal for failure to request judgment with reasoning, halting appeal period.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's appeal against a lower court's rejection of her cassation complaint. The plaintiff's lawyer had requested only the reasoning of the judgment, not the judgment itself with reasoning. The court held that a request for reasoning cannot be equated with a request for the judgment with reasoning under the Civil Procedure Code. Consequently, the mandatory two-month period for filing a cassation complaint, which runs from the receipt of the judgment with reasoning, never began, rendering the late filing inadmissible.
