Court rules dismissal of Daugavpils planning department head was unlawful
The Riga City Court has ruled on Friday that a Daugavpils municipality order dismissing Santa Pupiņa, head of its now-liquidated Urban Planning and Construction Department, was invalid. The department itself has since been abolished.
The Riga City Court issued a ruling on Friday declaring invalid an order by the Daugavpils municipality that dismissed Santa Pupiņa from her post as head of the city's Urban Planning and Construction Department.
The department she led has since been liquidated, meaning the structural unit at the center of the dismissal dispute no longer exists within the Daugavpils municipal administration.
The available information does not specify the court's detailed reasoning, nor does it indicate whether the municipality intends to appeal the ruling or how the matter of the former department head's status will be addressed going forward given the unit's liquidation.
