AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the appeal regarding the classification of divergent factual findings from lower courts. The appellant argued these inconsistencies were legal errors, but the court held they represented material facts due to their direct link to proven evidence. Consequently, the court ruled that such divergences fall under the jurisdiction of the trial judge on facts rather than the appellate court on law.
