Supreme Court of Cassation

The Supreme Court of Cassation is the highest judicial authority in a country's legal system for reviewing lower court decisions. Its primary role is to ensure that laws are consistently interpreted and applied correctly. It does not re-examine facts or hear new evidence but instead focuses on correcting legal errors in prior rulings. Its decisions set important legal precedents, guiding lower courts and maintaining uniformity in the application of the law across the jurisdiction.
