Summary
This Federal Law repeals the previous Federal Law No. (17) of 1978 that regulated the events and procedures of appeal by cassation before the Union Supreme Court. The purpose of this new law is to remove the previous regulations governing the cassation appeal process before the Union Supreme Court. This is a significant development, as it eliminates the specific legal framework that previously governed how such appeals could be filed and heard. The practical impact is that the cassation appeal process will now be governed by the general provisions of the Civil Procedures Code and Criminal Procedures Code, rather than the specialized rules contained in the repealed law.
