The Constitutional Court denied the Public Prosecutor's appeal regarding the mandatory general invalidation of a law previously declared unconstitutional. The Supreme Administrative Court had applied this declaration to a specific case involving a company, prompting the prosecution to challenge the application. The court ruled that the appeal lacked merit, upholding the binding force of the prior invalidation decision.
