The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the review appeal because the appellant failed to indicate the specific legal norm violated, a requirement for the court to examine the case. The appellant argued for a broader review of factual matters, but the opposing party and the court emphasized that the review tribunal's jurisdiction is strictly limited to questions of law. Consequently, the court ruled that without a cited legal provision, the appeal cannot be processed, reinforcing that the review body only adjudicates on rights unless specific exceptions apply.
