Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the appeal arguing that it lacked jurisdiction to review factual determinations. The lower court had established specific material facts, which the appellant sought to challenge via an agravo. The court ruled that its competence is limited to legal issues, explicitly excluding the power to censor or correct facts fixed by the appellate court.
