RE:RE:Supreme Court received Ingemmet's appealHi Aktiengraf, there are two separate decisions:
1. Qualification decision. Judges vote to decide if the appeal meets the formal and substantial requirements. If either of those are not met (and the omissions are not rectifiable), then the appeal is rejected, the file is returned to the original court and the sentence (favorable to $LI) become final. This process started as soon as the appeal was received by the Supreme Court on April 5, so if we assume 3 months for it then we should know the qualificacion decision by July 5.
2. Hearing decision. If the appeal meets the formal and substantial requirements then the judges make a positive qualificacion decision which kicks off the second process, which is the hearing process. Each of the parties present their arguments in a hearing, the judges make a deep analysis of the case and, finally, they vote to decide whether the second court sentence should be revoked or not. My estimate is that this process would take another 6 months, up to January 5, 2025 aproximately. The possible outcomes of this process are several: a conffirmation of the second court decision, a change in the second court decision (to make it favorable to Ingemmet, for example), an order to restart the whole judicial process from scratch, and so on. Shortly after the judges vote to make a decision, the file would be sent back to the original court so that the Supreme Resolution is executed.
As you can see, if the qualification decision is negative (which happens with 85% of the appeals) then the process would take only 2 months from now, whereas it could take up to 8 months if said decision is positive and the hearing takes place.
