Section 247: Leave required to dika to the Supreme Court

Supreme Court decisions interpreting this section

1. Supreme Court Judgment No. 1020/2567 (2024)

   Under Section 247, a dika against a Court of Appeal judgment may be made only with the Supreme Court's leave, applied for together with the petition of dika at the court of first instance within one month of the appeal judgment reading.

   The Supreme Court's petitions and leave division applied Section 247, quoting that a dika may be made only on leave and that the leave application must be filed with the petition of dika at the court of first instance within one month of the reading.

2. Supreme Court Judgment No. 4081/2564 (2021)

   Where the Court of Appeal's civil judgment is final under Section 244/1, a party may dika only by filing a leave application with the petition of dika and obtaining the Supreme Court's leave under Section 247.

   Because the civil judgment was final under Section 244/1, the defendant could dika only with the Supreme Court's leave under Section 247. The trial judge's order granting leave on a question of fact was improper, and the Supreme Court itself assessed whether the dika raised an important question.
