According to the Municipal Court, since an “urgent legal interest” necessarily involved the provision of legal protection before a plaintiff's rights were violated, the author could not have possibly had any legal interest in such a case but was “only interested in removing the consequences of the violation of his right.” The author then appealed to the High Court in Prague for an extraordinary remedy, arguing that his contributions to Polytechna should have been considered a violation of the UN Convention.
Según el tribunal municipal, dado que el "interés legal urgente" implicaba necesariamente la prestación de protección jurídica antes de que se violaran los derechos de un demandante, el autor no podía haber tenido un interés legal en ese caso sino que estaba "tan solo interesado en hacer desaparecer las consecuencias de la violación de su derecho".
