01

Subject

The points summarize: the continuing effect of prior leave to cassation until a final judgment in light of Art. 191(5) of the Civil Procedure Law; the ability to rely on the same leave when filing a subsequent cassation, with the ten‑day appeal period applying to each cassation filed under that leave due to unity of the cause; and that any appeal filed outside the statutory periods is dismissed on procedural grounds under Art. 196(1) of the Civil Procedure Law.

02

Summary

- Prior leave to cassation remains effective until a final judgment pursuant to Art. 191(5). - When the same leave is used for a later cassation, the ten‑day appeal period applies to each cassation based on that leave, because unity of the cause requires a consistent rule. - Appeals lodged outside the law’s time limits are dismissed procedurally under Art. 196(1).

03

Practical significance

- A litigant or counsel should note that an earlier grant of leave can be reused for repeated cassation filings, but the ten‑day filing period must be observed for every cassation brought under that leave. - Failure to comply with the statutory periods results in procedural dismissal under Art. 196(1). This is an educational summary and not a judicial text or legal advice.
