A candidate in the public competition based on professional record for a Justice of the Constitutional Court brought an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against Plenary Resolutions No. 16/19 and No. 17/19 on its results, invoking equality, other candidates' incompatibilities and recognition of qualifications. In its reasoning, the Court found the claim unfounded, as incompatibilities apply only after taking office and his studies were not recognised as postgraduate degrees.
