§ 823i. Advocate—Judicial review

Any party that is affected adversely by the Advocate’s ruling may request a judicial review thereof before the Court of First Instance part that corresponds to the complaint’s residence. Such request must be filed within fifteen (15) days following the date of notice of the Advocate’s ruling.

The action for judicial review shall be executed by filing a petition before the clerk of the court in which the petitioner shall state the grounds for his petition for review and on the date it is filed shall serve the Advocate with a copy of the petition for review. The Advocate shall remit a certified copy of the documents on file to the court within ten (10) days following the date on which he was notified that the writ of review was issued.

The court shall resolve the case within thirty (30) days after it is filed and shall review it on the grounds of the administrative record submitted, solely as to the conclusions of law. The Advocate’s findings of fact shall be conclusive for the court if they are sustained by substantial evidence throughout the record.
