Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed a lower administrative court's decision rejecting a social aid appeal because the appellant failed to attach the original contested decision. The appellant argued that the law only requires citing the decision, not physically attaching it, while the lower court treated the omission as a fatal formal defect. The Supreme Court ruled that Article 37 of the Administrative Court Act mandates only the citation of the decision, not its attachment, thereby invalidating the lower court's rejection.
