Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Administrative Court admitted a review of a disciplinary decision that annulled a sanction imposed on a lawyer for failing to suspend his membership in the Bar. The core issue was whether the lawyer's obligation to suspend his own registration required a prior formal deliberation by the Bar Order. The court ruled that such a suspension is mandatory upon the lawyer's request and does not depend on a prior collective decision by the Order, thereby validating the original sanction.
