Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court allowed the plaintiff's appeal against a lower court's decision rejecting a request for a reasoned judgment. The lower court dismissed the request because the plaintiff's lawyer failed to serve the document within the deadline, claiming the recipient was not authorized. The Supreme Court found the recipient, a clerk at the lawyer's office, was authorized to receive mail based on witness testimony and the lack of written objection. Consequently, the service was deemed valid, and the lower court's procedural error regarding the deadline was corrected.
