The Regional Administrative Court (TAR) of Emilia-Romagna overturned a decision by the Rimini Police Headquarters regarding a foreign student’s request to convert a study permit into a work permit. 

Authorities had initially denied the renewal of the student’s study permit due to a lack of passed exams and rejected the conversion request based on procedural irregularities involving electronic submission channels. The court ruled that the administration must conduct a substantive review of the merits of the application rather than dismissing it on purely procedural grounds, noting a formal error by the police in ignoring a previous request for case revision.
