Subject
A request for legal interest is treated as a substantive claim between the parties. Where the plaintiff sought legal interest and the Court of Appeal omitted deciding that request in its appealed ruling, the legislator provided, under Article 168/3 of the Civil Procedure Code, a procedure to address such omissions by filing a request to remedy the omission with the Court of Appeal.
Summary
Procedural rule: the statutory remedy of filing a request to remedy the omission before the same Court of Appeal must be used with respect to matters omitted by that court; one may not pursue cassation on those omitted matters prior to submitting the omission request.
Practical significance
A party who considers that the Court of Appeal failed to adjudicate a substantive request (for example, legal interest) should file the omission request to the Court of Appeal before initiating cassation on the basis of the omission.
