FAQ

In what circumstances can one bring an action for declaration of non-compliance with the law of a final judgment?: The Supreme Court also considers actions for declaration of non-compliance with the law of a final judgment. Such action can be filed at the court that issued the judgment within two years of the date when it became final, but only if the applicant did not (for any reason) file a cassation previously.

This extraordinary means of appeal can be filed against judgments of first and second instance courts. There are also no limits as to the value of claim.
