Whether the appeal was admissible despite the absence of a statement of appeal under the CPP
The appeal was inadmissible because the appellant did not file the required statement of appeal within the meaning of Art. 399 para. 3 CPP.
The appellant's letter was at most an appeal notice; no formal declaration followed. The wrong indication of remedies did not create a new remedy, since the appellant still had the possibility to seek relief from the default judgment.
