Article 187: Close of proceedings

Décisions de la Cour suprême interprétant cette section

1. Arrêt de la Cour suprême n° 5410/2537 (1994)

   So long as no judgment has been delivered, the case remains under the court's consideration; under section 187, applied to the appeal court through section 246, the court may still act on a matter, such as a pauper application, until it renders judgment.

   The plaintiffs filed a pauper application one day late, but since the appeal court had not yet ordered the case struck off, it was still under consideration under section 187 with section 246, and the court allowed them to proceed.

2. Arrêt de la Cour suprême n° 1736/2550 (2007)

   Whether the trial court properly conducted the taking of evidence under section 187, such as allowing the same witnesses to testify more than once, is a question concerning public order that a party may raise for the first time even at the Supreme Court stage.

   The defendant argued for the first time on further appeal that the first-instance court's handling of witness testimony breached section 187; the Supreme Court accepted the point as one of public order and agreed to rule on it.
