Legislator summary

AI generated

The administrative court dismissed the action filed by Santos against the Notaries' Fund, ruling that it lacked jurisdiction over the matter. Santos sought to establish civil liability for the State based on the functional fault of a notary assistant involved in a criminal act. The court held that because the liability stems from a criminal offense, the administrative branch is incompetent to adjudicate the civil responsibility, which must be pursued through the judicial system.
