Commentary on Judgment No. 11043 of 2024: Inadmissibility of the Appeal to the Supreme Court

The recent ruling of the Supreme Court, No. 11043 of April 24, 2024, provides an important reflection on the management of appeals in the context of fair compensation for unreasonable length of proceedings. The Court declared the inadmissibility of the appeal to the Supreme Court due to the failure to submit the authentic copy of the contested decision, thereby highlighting the importance of adhering to the procedures set forth by the Code of Civil Procedure.

The Context of the Judgment

In the case at hand, the appellant, C. B., found himself unable to continue his appeal due to the lack of necessary documentation. According to Article 369, paragraph 2, no. 2, of the Code of Civil Procedure, an appeal to the Supreme Court can be declared inadmissible if the authentic copy of the contested ruling is not submitted. This rule serves to ensure a correct and swift administration of justice, preventing inadequately documented appeals from clogging the judicial system.

The Principle of the Judgment

Appeal to the Supreme Court - Fair compensation judgment - Failure to submit the contested decision - Consequences - Inadmissibility of the appeal - Limits. In fair compensation proceedings for unreasonable length of proceedings, the appeal to the Supreme Court is inadmissible pursuant to Article 369, paragraph 2, no. 2, of the Code of Civil Procedure due to the failure of the appellant to submit the authentic copy of the decree issued by the territorial court, invoked in the opposition proceedings, unless the decision has been submitted by the opposing party.

This principle clearly highlights the consequences of the failure to submit, which is not merely a formality but a fundamental step to ensure that the appeal can be examined. In fact, the absence of the necessary documentation automatically leads to the inadmissibility of the appeal itself, as established by case law.

Practical Implications of the Judgment

The practical implications of this ruling are manifold and concern both lawyers and their clients:

  • The need for greater attention in submitting the necessary documentation to avoid inadmissibility.
  • The importance of informing clients about the formal requirements for submitting appeals.
  • Assessment of the consequences of any procedural errors that could compromise the right to defense.

In summary, judgment No. 11043 of 2024 places a strong emphasis on the importance of formality in the appeal process, calling on all actors in the legal system to comply with the rules to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of justice.

Conclusions

In conclusion, the decision of the Supreme Court represents an important confirmation of the significance of adhering to procedures in procedural law. The inadmissibility of the appeal to the Supreme Court in the event of failure to submit the authentic copy of the contested decision is not merely a formal issue, but a necessity to maintain the integrity of the judicial system. Lawyers and their clients must pay particular attention to these requirements to avoid compromising their right to a fair and swift resolution of disputes.
