Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by Izabela P. against the National Council of the Judiciary's decision to reject her nomination as a judge. The Council had denied her candidacy because she failed to meet the requirement of working as an assistant judge for at least two years prior to the application. The Court ruled that this specific two-year experience requirement is a mandatory condition for the position and does not apply retroactively to candidates who were already holding the role at the time of application.
