Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court of Poland reinstated the appeal deadline for the applicant, Danuta K., after the appellate court rejected her appeal due to a missing copy. The applicant argued the appellate court failed to recognize her subsequent letters as requests for deadline restoration, citing her confusion over the initial notice. The court ruled that because the applicant's letters clearly demonstrated a total lack of understanding of the defect, the appellate court was obligated to treat them as requests to restore the deadline rather than dismissing the appeal outright.
