Legislator summary

AI generated

The Constitutional Court declared the appeal inadmissible because the administrative court had modified the facts underlying the criminal charges. The petitioner argued this violated the principle of legality and effective judicial protection, while the state contended the modification was procedural. The court ruled that since the original criminal conduct was not typified by the law at the time, the subsequent administrative modification did not constitute an effective remedy for the alleged constitutional violation.
