The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by four plaintiffs against the State Treasury regarding unpaid court fees. The lower court rejected the appeal because the legal representative transferred fees to the wrong court's account instead of the appellate court's account. The Supreme Court ruled that paying fees to an incorrect account constitutes improper payment, triggering statutory sanctions that require dismissal of the appeal.
