The commented court decision of the Supreme Court refers to the issue of setting the time limit for filing an appeal in cassation if an attorney appointed for a party ex officio refused to file appeal in cassation, and then the complaint was filed by the party’s attorney of choice. The Supreme Court supported the position that in such a case, an attorney of choice may effectively file an appeal in cassation within the period open to the attorney appointed for a party ex officio. The commented judgment does not deserve to be approved of. Art. 124 § 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure should be interpreted strictly, since the party’s attorney by choice could have used the institution of reinstating a time limit regarding filing a cassation appeal.
