Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court overturned the Regional Court's dismissal of an appeal because the defendant paid the fee to the wrong court account. Although the lower court rejected the appeal under a regulation requiring payment to the first-instance court, the Supreme Court found this regulation unconstitutional. Consequently, the court held that paying the fee to either the first or second instance satisfies the legal requirement.
