Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice rejected the review appeal, holding that procedural nullities must generally be raised before the tribunal where the decision occurred. The appellant argued for a violation of substantive law, but the court emphasized that Article 668 of the Civil Procedure Code strictly limits where such nullities can be contested. Consequently, the court dismissed the appeal because the nullity was not properly arguable at the correct procedural stage.
