The Supreme Court dismissed the Consumer Ombudsman's appeal regarding its standing to challenge a private party's award of litigation costs funded by the state. The Ombudsman argued it should have the right to contest the allocation of public funds for legal expenses. The court held that the Ombudsman is not a proper party to such proceedings as it lacks a direct legal interest in the specific cost allocation.
