Legislator summary

AI generated

The Constitutional Court denied the appeal filed by the Public Prosecutor against a lower court's refusal to apply a specific administrative norm. Although the lower court had initially rejected the application of the norm, the Constitutional Court had previously declared that same norm unconstitutional in a separate decision. Consequently, the court confirmed the lower court's decision by refusing to apply the invalid provision.
