Supreme Court dismisses appeal for facts lacking legal effect under Civil Procedure Code Art. 189.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a former auditor against the High Control Chamber regarding the establishment of specific facts. The plaintiff sought to determine whether complaints existed against him in 1993 and if he abused his position for private purposes during a control. The court ruled that Article 189 of the Civil Procedure Code only permits actions to establish legal relationships or rights, not mere factual occurrences unless they directly create legal consequences. Since the plaintiff had already exhausted other legal remedies to challenge his negative work assessment and dismissal, the requested facts were deemed inadmissible for this procedural vehicle.
