The Supreme Court of Justice allowed the appeal against a prior ruling due to a direct conflict with another judgment on the same legal issue. Both lower court decisions applied the exact same legal rule to identical factual scenarios yet reached opposite conclusions. The court resolved the contradiction by permitting the review to establish a unified interpretation of the law.
