Essentially, decisions would be arbitrary, hence unfair. It was then that the majority argued: it is much better to unsnarl the whole administrative tangle by legislating automatic eligibility for students with the proper collection of grades. Yet the opposition was quick to point out that to lift the restriction setting the choice for C.L.G.S...
