Supreme Court rules Minister's recall of a council member tax chief does not require council consent.

The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether the recall of a tax chief who is also a city council member requires prior council approval. The plaintiff argued that the recall constituted a termination of employment necessitating council consent under local government law, while the defendant contended it was merely an internal administrative act. The court held that the recall does not directly terminate the employment contract and would improperly infringe upon the executive branch's constitutional authority over the finance minister.
