Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's request to restore the deadline for filing a cassation appeal due to an unpaid fee. The lower court rejected the extension, characterizing the failure to pay the basic fee as professional negligence by the lawyer rather than a mistake of law. The court held that professional representatives must meet higher standards of diligence and cannot claim lack of fault for such elementary procedural errors.
