AI generatedThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether leaving a case file unexamined under Article 64 of the Code of Administrative Procedure requires issuing an administrative decision. The Ombudsman argued that existing case law was inconsistent, with some courts treating this action as a formal decision while others viewed it as a non-action. The court held that while no formal decision is needed, the authority must still register the file and notify the applicant of the reason for non-examination to ensure procedural fairness.
