The Tribunal Constitucional issued a procedural order to correct a material error in a prior decision regarding the specific articles of two decrees found unconstitutional. The court identified that the original text incorrectly cited article 1, letters h) and j), and article 4, whereas the correct citations were article 1, letters h) and j), and article 4, and article 1, letter d) of the respective regulations. By invoking Article 666(2) of the Civil Procedure Code, the court authorized the rectification of the operative part to ensure legal accuracy without re-examining the merits of the unconstitutionality findings.
