Subject
Article 191 deals with the timing effects that follow the grant of leave to appeal in cassation during the pendency of the case, setting a rule about the period for filing the cassation petition.
Summary
Once leave to appeal in cassation is granted, the appellant must file the cassation within ten days. That ten-day period governs every cassation appeal that relies on that leave, whether submitted for the first time or as a repetition, because unity of the underlying reason leads to a unified timing rule for such appeals.
Practical significance
Practically, the ten-day deadline applies to all cassation appeals founded on the same grant of leave, including repeated appeals; therefore parties and their advisers should organize filing steps accordingly. This is an educational summary only — not a judicial text or legal advice.
