The Tribunal dos Conflitos declared the Customs Court incompetent to hear customs crime cases following the enactment of Decree-Law 173-A/78. The Ministry of Public Prosecution challenged the 2nd Section of the Administrative Court's jurisdiction, arguing it should remain with the judicial branch. The court ruled that the new legislation explicitly transferred all customs fiscal crimes to the Administrative Courts, thereby stripping the judicial courts of this specific competence.
