Thailand's Constitutional Court has agreed to review a petition challenging whether an emergency decree allowing the Ministry of Finance to borrow funds for energy crisis mitigation and energy transition measures complies with the constitution.
The case was filed by 133 members of parliament, who argued that the Royal Decree on borrowing authority is not in line with constitutional requirements, according to a Monday court statement.
The court said the petition is admissible under Section 173(1) and related procedural law, and has accepted it for consideration.
It has ordered the Cabinet to submit clarifications and supporting documents within seven days of receiving the request.
