Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the extraordinary review filed by the Minister of Justice against a supervisory decision regarding the closure of a public kindergarten. The municipality argued that the closure procedure was invalid because the landlord's notice of non-renewal arrived only two days before the statutory six-month deadline required by the Education Act. The court held that the municipality acted with due diligence despite the conflict between civil law obligations to vacate the premises and administrative law requirements for a lengthy closure procedure. Consequently, minor procedural delays caused by the impossibility of complying with both legal regimes did not constitute a serious violation of administrative law.
