The Supreme Court granted the Minister of Justice's extraordinary review, overturning the lower court's dismissal of a complaint against a town council resolution. The lower court had rejected the appeal because the town gained county rights on January 1, 1999, rendering the council dissolved and the old statute obsolete. The Supreme Court ruled that no legal provision automatically voided the previously adopted statute upon the town acquiring county status, allowing the original resolution to remain valid.
