The Supreme Administrative Court admitted the preliminary review to determine whether the contractor bears the burden of identifying all damage types within the fixed deadline. The Recurrent argued that the contractor must prove all losses, while the Respondent contended otherwise regarding Article 354 of the Public Contracts Code. The court decided to admit the review because the legal interpretation of the contractor's evidentiary obligation under the specified article remains unclear and requires judicial clarification.
