HOW:
There are three possible ways for sending a complaint to the court. The first way is to submit it to the Appeals court, secondly directly to the Supreme Court, or finally through the post office.After the court receives the application for review from the Appeal court the plaintiff has 2 months after opened-injection (the case in which the plaintiff is present in court during the appeal court’s decision) and 2 and a half months after a closed-injection decision (in which the plaintiff was tried in abstentia and as such was not present at the Appeals Court) in which to prepare and submit their brief.
The secretary have to inform immediately those who have to appear to the court at least 20 days in advance. The plaintiff then has to prepare their brief to the chief judge. The chief judge has to inform that brief to the other party within 20 days.
If both parties do not follow these rules, the case shall be repealed.
