Italian Supreme Court dismisses appeal regarding inadmissibility of asylum claim due to lack of jurisdiction.

The Court of Cassation dismissed the appeal against a lower court's decision to reject an asylum application. The applicant argued that the regional authority lacked jurisdiction to process the claim, while the opposing party maintained that the regional office was the correct competent body. The court ruled that the lower court correctly applied the law by determining the regional authority had the requisite jurisdiction to examine the request.
