Legislator summary

The Supreme Court ruled that municipal transport entities must pursue fare arrears through civil litigation instead of administrative enforcement. The plaintiff argued that tax authorities should handle these debts, but the court found that local budgetary units lost their status as state entities when becoming municipal bodies. Consequently, the court held that these specific transport fees do not fall under administrative enforcement laws and require a judicial process.
