Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a lower court decision that rejected his claim for damages. The plaintiff argued that the university's disciplinary proceedings against him were unlawful due to procedural errors and violations of his rights. The court held that while disciplinary actions are generally lawful, they require a substantive review of whether the organs correctly interpreted and applied the law, which the lower courts failed to conduct comprehensively.
