Partial invalidity of administrative decision allowed when defects do not affect remaining operative parts.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court granted extraordinary review to uphold the invalidation of a specific portion of an administrative decision regarding pollution fees. The court found that while the decision contained a legal defect under Article 156 of the Administrative Procedure Code, this flaw only affected the calculation of a 100% surcharge and did not impact the validity of the base fee determination. Consequently, the court ruled that the remaining valid parts of the decision could independently function in legal proceedings, allowing the partial invalidity to stand without voiding the entire ruling.
