The administrative court dismissed the appeal against the disciplinary decision, upholding the authority's application of extraordinary penalty mitigation. The respondent argued for judicial review of the mitigating circumstances, while the appellant contended the discretion was abused. The court ruled that such mitigation is a free evaluative power granted by law, which can only be challenged if a manifest, evident, and obvious error is demonstrated.
