The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the hierarchical appeal filed by a student against a final decision by the National Exam Jury. The student argued that the jury's re-evaluation of exam proofs was an actionable administrative act requiring prior exhaustion of remedies. The court ruled that such jury decisions are inherently final and that a hierarchical appeal to the Secretary of State is merely optional, not mandatory.
