An institution of cassation has been known and implemented almost within all European countries. In the Republic of Lithuania the aforesaid institution has been known since the interwar period. However, it has experienced lots of reforms and constant developments until present days. The latest reform was carried out only several years ago, and during this reform rather big changes were introduced. The cassation admissibility system is considered to be one of the aforementioned changes. This system allows selecting the cases that should be tried following the cassation proceedings. Thus it implies that not every case could be analysed following the cassation procedure and that certain limits to cassation exist. Namely the adoption of these limits form the hypothesis of this work and under the means of comparative, historical, document analysis, logical, critical and linguistic-systemic analysis methods, while examining the judicial practice, the laws of the Republic of Lithuania, the international legal acts, publications and legal researches, this works aims at establishing whether the adoption of these limits does not limit the person’s right to protect his/her violated right or interest by means of legal remedies determined by legal acts.
