Supreme Court allows appeal by unauthorized lawyer because client confirmed it, not dismissing due to procedural defects.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court allowed the appellant's appeal, overturning the lower court's dismissal based on procedural defects. The lower court rejected the appeal because the lawyer failed to specify the scope of the request and improperly authenticated a court register copy, arguing lawyers can only authenticate their own power of attorney. The Supreme Court ruled that while the lawyer lacked authority to authenticate the register copy, the appeal was valid because the client confirmed it, making the sanction merely a bar to participation rather than dismissal.
