Annotation de l'entreprise
This section has been repealed. In its former form, Section 223 bis provided the leapfrog appeal: a party could appeal a case turning solely on a question of law directly to the Supreme Court, skipping the Court of Appeal, if the court of first instance permitted it. As the Supreme Court decisions below show, that permission could be given expressly or be treated as given where the trial court forwarded the case file to the Supreme Court after the opposing party raised no objection. Because the provision has been repealed, this direct-appeal route no longer sits in Section 223 bis, and current appeals follow the general regime in this Title. References to Section 223 bis in reported decisions concern cases governed by the former text.
Pourquoi cela est important en pratique
Do not rely on Section 223 bis as a live route today: it has been repealed, and citing it as current law is a mistake. If your dispute turns purely on a point of law and you want to shorten the appeal path, check the current provisions of this Title with a lawyer rather than the old leapfrog rule.

Supreme Court Judgment No. 8054/2559 (2016)
Under the former Section 223 bis, a party could appeal a case turning solely on a question of law directly to the Supreme Court, bypassing the Court of Appeal, with the permission of the court of first instance.
After the court of first instance dismissed the claim, the plaintiff appealed only on a question of law directly to the Supreme Court with the trial court's permission under the former Section 223 bis. The decision illustrates the leapfrog-appeal mechanism as it operated before the section was repealed.

Supreme Court Judgment No. 4301/2559 (2016)
Under the former Section 223 bis, paragraph one, permission for a direct appeal to the Supreme Court could be treated as given where, after the opposing party did not object, the court of first instance sent the case file to the Supreme Court, even without an express order allowing the appeal.
The plaintiff appealed only on a question of law and asked to appeal directly to the Supreme Court. Although the court of first instance did not expressly grant permission, because the defendants received the motion and did not object and the file was forwarded, the Supreme Court held permission under the former Section 223 bis, paragraph one, could be inferred.

Foire aux questions
Is Section 223 bis of the Civil Procedure Code still in force?
No. Section 223 bis has been repealed. It formerly allowed a direct leapfrog appeal to the Supreme Court on a pure question of law with the court of first instance's permission, and older decisions cite it only for cases governed by the former text.
