The court allowed the exceptional review appeal regarding the prescription period for a disciplinary procedure against a lawyer. The respondent argued that the period should be calculated under the pre-2001 version of the Statute, which established a continuous running period without suspension or interruption. The court ruled that this specific statutory provision governs the timeline, confirming the continuous nature of the prescription period.
