KCC 158/2011
This case involved an individual who was beaten. Key issues included that the appellant's father could not issue the lawyer's power of attorney and whether the investigations by the office of public prosecution were invalid.
Background
First Appeal:
An appellant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation.
The court of cassation considered the issues related to the public order. The court said that the appellant should introduce the appeal by himself or by a legal representative. The court said that the documents of the case revealed that the power of attorney by which the lawyer appealed the ruling was issued by the appellant's father.
Second Appeal:
An appellant said in his grounds of appeal that the appealed ruling by which he was convicted of beating had erred in the application of law and had insufficient evidence of causation. He said that the criminal case was not filed by a complaint made by the victim. He said that he maintained before the court that the investigations conducted by the office of public prosecution were invalid but the court dismissed this defence.
Decision
First Appeal:
The court dismissed the appeal.
Second Appeal:
