Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the defense lawyer because the defendant had effectively withdrawn the appeal. The court noted that the lower court had failed to formally announce a written verdict, rendering the prior judgment legally non-existent. Consequently, there was no final decision to appeal, and the procedural defects in the previous retrial did not constitute grounds for cassation.
