Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court ruled that the Prime Minister, not the Regional Audit Chamber, is the competent authority to adjudicate the dismissal of an appointed inspector. The applicant argued that the Regional Chamber's dismissal was invalid, while the Ministry of Administration contended that contract law applied because the employee was hired on a contract basis. The court determined that the specific law governing Regional Audit Chambers mandates that such inspectors are appointed officials rather than contract workers, thereby subjecting them to the dismissal procedures for appointed public servants.
