Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the Minister of Justice's extraordinary review against a notary for refusing to provide a document copy. The notary argued that the supervision statute did not grant the Minister the right to request such copies, which are strictly regulated for specific parties under a different section of the Notary Law. The court agreed, holding that the supervision provision and the document issuance provision address distinct matters and do not create a special law-general law relationship.
