The Supreme Court quashed the Administrative Court's decision to dismiss the appeal due to a failure to properly notify the applicants of the hearing date. The applicants argued that the court's acceptance of a non-compliant postal delivery violated their constitutional right to a fair trial. The court ruled that the specific obligation to notify parties ensures their participation and constitutes a guarantee of fair proceedings, making the procedural defect a serious violation affecting the case outcome.
