The Constitutional Court dismissed the appeal against a lower court decision. The lower court had refused to apply a new law due to a succession of laws issue, which the appellant argued should have been resolved differently. The Court upheld the lower court's stance, ruling that the procedural objection regarding the temporal application of the law was valid and the appeal lacked merit.
