Supreme Court allows appeal reinstatement for municipal council ruling on nature monuments due to lack of statutory notice.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe 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.
