The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the appeal regarding a tacit denial of a request submitted to an incompetent administrative body. The appellant argued that the authority's failure to decide constituted a tacit refusal, while the respondent contended that procedural inaction by an incompetent organ does not transfer jurisdiction. The court held that the formation of a tacit denial strictly requires the addressed authority to have a legal duty to decide, which was absent here.
