Questão jurídica principal
Whether the respondent was validly represented when filing the summary eviction application.
Decisão extraída
The representation was not sufficiently proven; the file contained no valid power of attorney for the relevant filing, and one signatory lacked registered signing authority.
Fundamentação extraída
Validity of representation is a procedural prerequisite examined ex officio. New legal arguments are admissible on appeal, and the appellate court found no evidence that the application was signed by an authorized representative or supported by a power of attorney.
