Subject
The judicial precedent addresses how a previously granted leave to appeal affects the filing deadline for cassation when a decision is issued orally or is deemed oral.
Summary
The court held that a previously granted leave remains in effect until the final judgment, provided that any subsequent cassation is filed within the ten-day period set out in Article (5/191) of the Civil Procedure Code. This ten-day deadline must be observed each time a cassation is repeated: the appeal must be filed within ten days following the date of the oral or deemed-oral judgment after cassation. The rule applies to every cassation relying on that leave, whether it is the first filing or a repeated one, because the same cause leads to the same outcome.
