The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a former company manager regarding his joint tax liability. The court found that a final criminal conviction for failing to file a bankruptcy petition within the statutory period established the specific timeframe for this obligation. Consequently, the manager could not successfully argue that he filed the bankruptcy request in time, as the criminal judgment precluded contrary evidence.
