Annotation de l'entreprise
Section 209 states two things: a duty on the Court of Appeal to decide without delay, and a choice of venue for reading the judgment, either at the Court of Appeal or by sending it to the court of first instance to be read. In practice the appellate judgment is usually sent down and read at the trial court, which is more convenient for the parties. When that happens, it is the trial court's duty to arrange the reading in accordance with Section 182, and the appellate judgment takes effect on that reading. The choice of where to read does not affect the substance or validity of the judgment.
Pourquoi cela est important en pratique
Practically, you will usually hear the Court of Appeal's decision read at the same trial court where your case began, not in Bangkok, so watch for the reading date set by the trial court and make sure you or your lawyer attend or are properly represented. The judgment generally takes effect from the reading, which starts the clock for any further step such as a dika. Because a missed reading can have consequences, keep your contact and service details current with the trial court. If you expect an appellate judgment and want to be ready for the next step, consider a consultation with a Thai lawyer.

Supreme Court Judgment No. 2609/2539 (1996)
When the Court of Appeal finishes its judgment and sends it with the file to the court of first instance to be read under Section 209, it is the duty of the trial court to arrange the reading of the appellate judgment in accordance with Section 182.
The Court of Appeal sent its completed judgment and the file to the trial court for reading. The Supreme Court confirmed that under Section 209 the trial court then had the duty to have the appellate judgment read to the parties as required by Section 182, noting that repeated postponements and partial payment were new facts not compelling any particular course.
