KCC 392/2016

This case involved the validity of a travel ban. A key issue was the appeal documentation lacked the necessary documentation including the signature of an accredited lawyer.

Background

A claimant filed a plea against a defendant and requested the travel ban be issued against him. He said that the ban did not meet the legal conditions and that he did not owe any money to the defendant.

The court ruled that the travel ban should be dismissed.

The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court dismissed the appealed ruling and maintained the travelling ban.

The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation.

Decision

The court of cassation considered the issues which related to general order. The court said that Article 153 of the Advocacy Law stipulated that the appeal document should include the names of disputed parties and the reasons behind the appeal and should be signed by an accredited lawyer. The court said that the case documents revealed that the appeal document submitted by the claimant lacked the signature of an accredited lawyer.

The court dismissed the appeal.
