This case involved a claim by a company representative not to have to pay court fees for an expert. The court stated whether fees were due and the potential outcome of the case had no bearing.

Background

A claimant made a plea against a defendant before the court. He requested the court to order the defendant to dismiss an order by which the company he represented was ordered to pay an amount of money to an expert. He said that the case made by the defendant should be dismissed due to the statute of limitations.

The court dismissed the plea and upheld the mentioned order.

The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court dismissed the appeal and upheld the appealed ruling.

The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. He said in his grounds of appeal that the appealed ruling had erred in the application of law. He said that the relevant party in the case was the convicted person and that the defendant did not have the capacity to do so because he was not a party in the case.
