Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible despite the appellant seeking a modification adverse to her own interests
Extracted holding
The appellant had no legally protected interest in an appeal that would worsen her own position, so the appeal was inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 59(2)(a) CPC, a party must show a legally protected interest. An appeal seeking a reduction of one's own maintenance obligation lacks such interest; this defect must be examined ex officio.
