Annotation de l'entreprise
This provision extends the reach of any statutory restriction limiting a Dika to questions of law. Its purpose is to prevent parties or third persons involved in a case, such as a claimant to seized property or a joined plaintiff, from evading the fact-question bar simply because they are not the principal accused or prosecutor. It works alongside the substantive bars in Sections 218, 219, and 220, which specify when only law questions may be raised, and it should be read with Section 221, the narrow safety valve that allows a certified Dika even in barred cases. In practice a Dika allowed only on questions of law will be dismissed if it in fact reargues the evidence.
Pourquoi cela est important en pratique
If your case falls under a law-only Dika restriction, do not assume a related party or intervenor has more room to raise fact issues than the main parties do; they are bound by the same limit. The safest course is to frame the Dika strictly as a question of law and, where a fact question is genuinely important, pursue the certification route under Section 221 rather than trying to disguise fact disputes as legal ones. Early strategic advice avoids wasting the single Dika opportunity: consider an consultation en ligne avec un avocat thaïlandais.

Supreme Court Judgment No. 462/2521 (1978)
A Dika contesting the Court of Appeal judgment on whether an appeal was barred under Section 193 bis is a question of law, which is not prohibited by Sections 217 to 221 and may therefore be filed under Section 216.
The Court of First Instance refused the defendant's Dika. On the defendant's petition, the Supreme Court held that the Dika raised a pure question of law, whether the appeal was barred under Section 193 bis, which is not caught by the restrictions in Sections 217 to 221, and ordered the Dika accepted for consideration.

Foire aux questions
Who is bound by a law-only Dika restriction?
Under Section 217, not only the main parties but everyone involved in the case, including related claimants and intervenors, is bound by a restriction limiting the Dika to questions of law.
Can I get around the restriction by raising a fact question dressed as law?
No. Courts look at the substance of the Dika. A challenge that in reality disputes the evidence is treated as a fact question and dismissed under the restriction that Section 217 enforces.
