Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the disciplinary proceedings against a lawyer initiated ex officio by the disciplinary council. The lower courts had imposed sanctions despite the absence of a formal complaint or request to start the procedure from the authorized disciplinary ombudsman. The court ruled that initiating such proceedings without a proper request violates the principle of admissibility and mandates the dismissal of the case.
