The Constitutional Court dismissed the unconstitutionality challenge against the challenged norms and ordered the proceedings to continue for further allegations. The applicant argued the norms violated constitutional principles, but the court found the challenge lacked merit at this stage. Consequently, the case was not declared unconstitutional, and the procedural path was extended for the opposing party to present its full defense.
