Legal Petition on Veterinary Clinics and Article 91 of the Administrative Justice Court Act

This petition, submitted under Article 91 of the Administrative Justice Court Act (2013), challenges a prior ruling of the Court’s General Assembly that prohibited the establishment of veterinary clinics in residential premises. The applicant argues that the contested judgment is in clear conflict with binding statutory provisions, particularly the 1987 “Law on the Location of Physicians’ Offices,” which explicitly permits medical and allied health professions to operate in residential and commercial buildings. The petition seeks annulment of the previous ruling, issuance of a new unified decision affirming the legality of veterinary diagnostic and treatment centers in residential properties, and invalidation of the relevant clause in the Veterinary Organization’s internal directive. The case emphasizes the essential role of veterinary services in safeguarding public health, controlling zoonotic diseases, and ensuring food safety, while highlighting the principles of legality, proportionality, legitimate expectation, and facilitation of lawful professional activities.
