What is cassation?
A final stage that reviews whether the law was applied correctly, not a fresh hearing of the facts.
It is limited in scope, so framing the grounds correctly is essential.
What do we do in cassation?
We study the appeal judgment, identify legal errors and prepare the cassation memorandum within the time limit.
We argue the points of law and respond to the other side.
What are the possible outcomes?
The Court may reject the challenge, or quash the judgment and send it for reconsideration.
We advise whether cassation is worth pursuing in your case.

Frequently asked questions
Can new facts be raised in cassation?
Generally no. The Court reviews law and procedure, not the facts.

Not for every judgment. We confirm availability and the time limit.
