Subject
The issue concerns situations where an appellate court complies with a cassation decision but limits itself to the cassation point and fails to address the appeal grounds before it, while the prior judgment has been annulled. This situation engages the rules of Article 202 of the Civil Procedure Code.
Summary
Court of Cassation jurisprudence holds that an appellate decision must meet the formal requirements of a judgment under Article 160 of the Civil Procedure Code, and must provide clear, detailed responses to the grounds of appeal pursuant to Article 188/4. If an appellate court confines itself to complying with the cassation point and omits dealing with the appeal grounds after the previous judgment was annulled, the appellate decision may be found contrary to Article 202 and subject to cassation.
