AI generatedThe High Court of Cassation and Justice, Full Bench for Resolving Legal Issues, ordered the correction of a material error in the operative part of its prior Decision No. 271 of June 30, 2025, published in the Official Gazette, thereby clarifying that time served prior to appointment in the judiciary represents service in the position of legal advisor rather than judicial seniority.
