Supreme Court quashed lower court ruling for exceeding jurisdiction over non-financial municipal council decisions.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the Regional Audit Office's decision and remanded the case to the Administrative Court. The Office had declared a municipal council resolution invalid for awarding allowances to council members assigned to bidding committees, arguing this violated financial oversight rules. The Court held that the resolution concerned personnel duties rather than financial management, placing it outside the Office's supervisory competence. Consequently, the lower court erred by reviewing the entire resolution's legality instead of limiting its scope to financial matters.
