Kassatsiooniga

Kassatsiooniga refers to an appeal or cassation in legal proceedings, specifically a request for a higher court to review a lower court's decision. This process is a fundamental aspect of many legal systems, designed to ensure fairness and correct errors in judicial rulings. The primary purpose of a cassation is to examine the legal application of the law by the lower court, rather than re-examining the facts of the case. This means that the cassation court typically does not hear new evidence or witnesses. Instead, it focuses on whether the lower court correctly interpreted and applied the relevant statutes and legal principles.

The grounds for filing a cassation are usually limited to specific legal errors, such as a violation of procedural rules, misinterpretation of statutes, or a decision that is contrary to established legal precedent. If the cassation court finds that a significant legal error occurred, it can overturn the lower court's decision, order a new trial, or in some cases, issue its own ruling. The specific procedures and terminology for cassation may vary between different jurisdictions, but the underlying principle of judicial review of legal correctness remains consistent. It serves as a crucial safeguard against miscarriages of justice by providing an avenue for challenging potentially flawed judicial outcomes.
