Cassation judgments

Cassation judgments are decisions made by a higher court, called a Court of Cassation, that reviews whether lower courts correctly applied the law in a case. These judgments do not re-examine the facts but focus on ensuring legal standards are properly followed. If the higher court finds a legal mistake, it may annul the previous decision and send the case back for reconsideration. Cassation judgments help maintain consistent legal interpretation and uphold the correct application of laws within the judicial system.
