The Constitutional Court denied the appeal filed by the Supreme Court of Justice against a lower administrative decision. The recorrentes argued for a broader scope of constitutional review, but the court found no violation of constitutional principles. Consequently, the original judgment was upheld, and the appellants were ordered to pay the associated court costs.
