Supreme Court dismisses appeal, ruling civil registry head is appointed, not appointed, under public service law.

The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's decision declaring the plaintiff's dismissal ineffective and remanded the case for a new ruling. The plaintiff argued she was dismissed under a specific statute allowing appointments for civil registry heads, while the lower court held the municipal statute expanded this category beyond the law's closed list. The court ruled that the statutory list of appointable positions is exclusive and cannot be broadened by local statutes, meaning the plaintiff remained an appointed employee throughout.
