Legislator summary

AI generated

The Constitutional Court declined to examine the appeal because the applicant failed to raise any constitutional illegality issues before the Administrative Court. The applicant did not respond to the rapporteur's initial statement, and the Public Prosecutor concurred, noting that the required prerequisites under Article 70 of the Constitutional Court Law were not met. Consequently, the court ruled that the appeal was inadmissible and ordered the applicant to bear the litigation costs.
