Case no.
K 22-10.378
Decision summary
The Court of Cassation rejected Heliotrop's request to strike Magpower Soluçôes Energia and Magp Inovação's appeal from the docket. It held that, absent exceptional circumstances, nonpayment of the Article 700 costs award alone could not justify striking the case from the docket because that measure would disproportionately impair access to the cassation court.
