How to read the result
In a commercial case, Article 288 of the Commercial Procedure Code generally allows 20 days for a cassation appeal. The key date depends on whether the full decision, only its abbreviated part, or a decision without summoning the parties was issued.
Later service of the full text may allow a restoration request if the appeal is filed within 20 days of service. This is a separate procedural requirement, not an automatic extension.
Calculation methodology
Identify the documented date of pronouncement, preparation of the full text or service.
Start counting on the next calendar day and add 20 calendar days.
If the preliminary last day is Saturday or Sunday, show the following Monday.
Mark separately when a service-based result concerns a request to restore the time limit.
Example
Example for a Lviv region entrepreneur
An entrepreneur from Stryi challenges a decision in a commercial supply-payment dispute. The decision was issued without summoning the parties; the case file confirms the full-text date.
- Full text prepared on 07.10.2026
- Period: 20 calendar days
The indicative last day is 27 October 2026; no weekend adjustment applies.
The entrepreneur must still identify a valid cassation ground and check electronic service and the court fee.
Documents for review
- Full text of the first-instance decision and the commercial appellate court’s decision.
- Evidence of the date of pronouncement, preparation or service of the full text.
- Contract and appeal materials supporting a ground for cassation review.
- Court fee payment document, evidence of sending copies and proof of the representative’s authority.
Frequently asked questions
From which date should the 20 days be counted?
Usually from pronouncement of the commercial appellate court’s decision. If only the introductory and operative parts were read out, or the case was heard without summoning the parties, check when the full text was prepared.
I received the decision by post later. Do I have a new 20 days?
Filing within 20 days after service can support a request to restore the missed time limit. Restoration is not automatic; a motion and proof of service are needed.
Can every decision be challenged in cassation?
No. Article 287 of the Commercial Procedure Code defines which decisions and conditions permit cassation review. Before drafting, check the type of decision, claim value and statutory ground.
Why is the result moved to Monday?
The tool moves a Saturday or Sunday deadline under the general rule for procedural time limits. Check other non-working days, special rules and court hours separately.
