26. Finally, it is stated that the alleged victim filed a cassation remedy against the abovementioned decision. On April 11, 2011 the Permanent Constitutional and Social Law Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice declared the remedy inadmissible, for considering that: FOURTH: That, concerning the reported grievance, it is seen that the foundation of this remedy, points toward establishing the existence of a discriminatory treatment for his sexual option, upon the request of one of the customers of the commercial establishment for the to cease their acts of intimacy considered excessive, which cannot be heard but from a new assessment of the evidence provided, aspect which becomes incompatible with purposes of the cassation remedy foreseen in article 384 of the Procedural Civil Code modified by Law No 29364. For the reasons exposed, by not satisfying the demand on merits referred to in article 388 of the Procedural Civil Code modified by Law No 29364, in exercise of the faculty granted by article 392 of the aforesaid Code, declared: the cassation remedy INADMISSIBLE (…)14. IV. ANALYSIS OF LAW A. Previous matter 27. The Commission takes note of the request by the State to reconsider the report on admissibility, “upon the absence of explanations concerning the exhaustion of domestic remedies in particular on the alleged affectations to the rights of protection of honor and dignity and freedom of thought and expression”. 28. On the matter, the IACHR insists on its decision of admissibility and recalls that the alleged victim used the administrative and judicial channels to address his complaint regarding violations to rights of the consumer of unequal treatment resulted from the expression of his sexual orientation concluding with the denial of the cassation remedy by the Permanent Constitutional and Social Law Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice on April 11, 2011. Likewise, the Commission recalls that “it is not a practice of Inter American system bodies, for not attending parameters of reasonability, to demand exhaustion of domestic remedies separately and autonomously before each one of the effects resulted from a principal violation”15. In the case of Duque vs. Colombia, the Inter American Court referred to this aspect stating that: 54. The Court confirms that the violation of the right to health claimed in the action for protection by Mr. Duque, was closely connected to the claim of access to a specific regime of Protection of the right to health, contributive regime to which, initially, the alleged victim allegedly could only access with the recognition of his beneficiary condition of the pension of survivor. From this perspective, it is reasonable to infer that domestic remedies were exhausted with the filing of the action for protection, beside what the State has claimed, in the sense that Mr. Duque had specific judicial remedies available that were not exhausted concerning concrete violations of the right to health16. 29. In virtue of the aforesaid, the Commission reiterates that in the present case the due exhaustion of domestic remedies regarding the formulated complaint by the alleged victim did operate, which makes the request by State inadmissible and what proceeds is to ratify the decision of admissibility granted by the IACHR.
