The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the objection regarding the court's jurisdiction over the administrative agency's choice of litigation. The plaintiff argued the agency should have used an administrative route instead of judicial proceedings, claiming the court censured this preference. The court ruled that the judge cannot judicially censur the administration for selecting a specific legal path, as the agency is free to choose between judicial and administrative options based on its own reasons.

SUMÁRIO

Não pertence, oficiosamente, ao julgador processual civil o poder jurisprudencial de censurar a Administração uma via judicial que licita lhe seja, como possivel opção, impondo-lhe a bondade doutra - administrativa - que não escolheu, como simples fundamento de alternativa preferencial, não confinavel, desapercebendo-se da razão ou interesse que a levou a escolher a via judicial civel e a te-la como certa e necessaria.
