Irregularities in the jury's evaluation
The appellate court noted "remarkable omissions and deviations" in the allocation of scores. It pointed out that there were no clear grounds as to which publications, courses, or awards were considered. It emphasized that the partial annulment issued by UNC lacked justification, as it kept some candidates and arbitrarily excluded others.
Judges Abel Sánchez Torres and Graciela Montesi concluded that the competition should be annulled in its entirety. They recalled that the jury is obliged to justify each score to ensure proper judicial review. They indicated that the lack of reasoning renders the decision a "null administrative act."
