The Tribunal Central Administrativo Sul declared itself incompetent to hear a challenge against a decision by the Superior Magistrates Council. The appellant, an assistant scrivener, sought annulment of a favorable inspection result, while the Prosecutor-General raised the issue of subject-matter jurisdiction. The court ruled that appeals against the Council's deliberations must go directly to the Supreme Court of Justice, thereby dismissing the case within this tribunal.
