Key legal question
Whether the criminal appeal filed without a power of attorney was admissible
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because counsel did not produce the required power of attorney despite being given time to do so.
Extracted reasoning
Under Arts. 40(2) and 42(5) LTF, representatives must prove their authority by written or electronic power of attorney; if the defect is not cured, the filing is not considered.
