Administrative court dismisses government appeal on asylum denial due to violation of legal certainty principle regarding prior binding judgment.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court declared the applicant's appeal against the asylum denial admissible and ordered the revocation of the administrative decision. The government argued it was not bound by a previous court ruling from 2001 that had already annulled a similar decision, claiming it could make its own assessment. The court rejected this, holding that the principle of legal certainty binds the administration to the final judicial interpretation of the law, making the prior ruling authoritative and preventing the government from acting inconsistently.
