Subject
- Article 2 of the Civil Procedure Law establishes that a new law has direct effect on pending cases and unfinished procedures unless otherwise stated, while excluding provisions that regulate appellate routes from that general rule. Consequently, a new procedural appeal created by legislation does not apply to judgments issued before its entry into force, but applies to judgments issued after that date. - Article 191 of the Civil Procedure Law provides that cassation against appellate-court judgments in civil claims whose claimed amount does not exceed 20,000 dinars is subject to permission from the President of the Court of Cassation or his delegate.
Summary
- With the amendment of Article 191 by Amending Law No.6 of 2024, effective from its publication on 6/4/2024, the amended provision governs cassation appeals relating to judgments issued after that effective date. - The impugned judgment dated 7/8/2024 concerns a civil claim valued at 12,560 dinars, which falls within the threshold not exceeding 20,000 dinars; therefore, cassation is admissible only with permission under Article 191.
Practical significance
- Practitioners should check the judgment date and claim value to determine whether permission is required before lodging a cassation appeal in similar cases. Note: This is a general educational summary, not a judicial text or legal advice.
