Subject
Key points on how the unity of the judicial body relates to leave-for-cassation decisions and the effect of claim value on admissibility.
Summary
- The court of cassation functions as a single judicial body across its judges and panels; therefore, an appellant's recourse to it or reliance on decisions of one of its judges does not cause loss of rights. - Where a request for leave to cassation is made and a judge of the court refuses the request on a formal ground that the claim value exceeds ten thousand dinars, that refusal produces legal effects and constrains the court as a decision issued by a judge within his authority to rule on the request. - If it is determined that leave is not required, and the leave applicant accepts that determination and files the cassation within the statutory time, the court must admit the appeal formally and address the grounds on the merits; it should not re-assess the claim value to dismiss the appeal for lack of leave. This departs from any contrary precedent. This is a general educational summary and not a judicial text or legal advice.
