In criminal proceedings, the period for appeal or cassation undoubtedly begins with the notification or recording of the decision. Notification means the oral notification of the final decision given by the court at the last hearing to the party present at the hearing. The notification of the court’s decision means the subsequent written notification of the final decision given at the last hearing to the party not present at the hearing.
If a judgment is rendered, the period for appeal or cassation begins when the judgment is learned in the hearing. Here, the petition submitted to prevent the period for appeal or cassation from being missed during the period between the judgment being written and served is called a request for extension of time. This petition is essentially an appeal or cassation petition.
