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

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the interlocutory order challenging the jurisdiction of the lower court over the asylum application. The applicant argued that the regional authority lacked competence to hear the case, while the opposing party maintained that the lower court had proper jurisdiction. The court ruled that the specific statutory provisions governing asylum proceedings clearly assign jurisdiction to the regional authority, rendering the appeal inadmissible.
