Criminal appeal signed by client but drafted by lawyer requires lawyer's signature correction before rejection.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court overturned the appellate court's dismissal of a criminal appeal because the document was drafted by a lawyer but signed by the client. The court held that the missing lawyer's signature is a formal defect subject to correction rather than a fatal bar to filing. Consequently, the appeal was remanded for the lawyer to sign the document.
