Questão jurídica principal
Whether the respondent could, in her response, seek independent relief without filing a timely appeal.
Decisão extraída
She could not; independent cross-appeal relief is inadmissible before the Federal Supreme Court.
Fundamentação extraída
Because she did not appeal within the legal time limit, she was limited to requesting dismissal or inadmissibility of the opposing appeal, or remittal for further evidence; a joint appeal is not available.
