The Supreme Administrative Court declared itself incompetent to hear the direct appeal filed by International Leasing SA against a decision from the Director-General of Contributions and Taxes. Although the Director-General acted under a delegation of power, the court ruled that such delegation does not alter the fundamental lack of jurisdiction over direct appeals. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed because the specific statutory framework reserves jurisdiction for the Second Section only when the act originates from a different authority or under specific conditions not met here.
