The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the applicant's claim that the administrative act's suspension decision was null due to the court's failure to examine the constitutionality of the underlying norm. The applicant argued that the court should have addressed the constitutional challenge directly, but the court clarified that such matters must be raised in the contentious appeal against the administrative act itself. Consequently, the court ruled that the procedural omission did not constitute a ground for nullity, upholding the suspension decision.
