The Supreme Court reinstated the deadline for filing an administrative appeal against a municipal council's ruling on nature monuments. The plaintiff argued that the council failed to inform him of his right to appeal after he requested the removal of a legal violation, while the council contended the appeal period began only after two months of silence. The court ruled that Article 9 of the Administrative Procedure Code imposes an active duty on the municipality to inform citizens of their rights, thereby preventing the plaintiff from being penalized for inaction based on a lack of information.
