Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal by a judge candidate against the National Council of the Judiciary's refusal to nominate her for a judicial position. The candidate argued that the Council violated equality principles and failed to consider her high professional qualifications, while the Council relied on low support from the local judges' assembly. The court held that the Supreme Court lacks jurisdiction to review the substantive merits of the candidate's qualifications, limiting its review to procedural legality.
