Administrative Appeal Regarding Medical Liability Committee Decision

Judgment summary

A medical professional appealed a decision by the Supreme Committee for Medical Liability that found him 50% liable for a gross medical error. The lower courts dismissed his case, citing a law stating the committee's decisions are final. The Federal Supreme Court overturned this, ruling that immunizing any administrative decision from judicial review is unconstitutional. The Court emphasized that the right to litigation is a fundamental right protected by the constitution. It stated that while the committee's decision is administratively final, it remains subject to judicial review for any legal defects, including jurisdiction, procedure, and purpose. The judgment was quashed, and the case was remanded to the lower court for reconsideration on its merits.
