AI generated

The Supreme Administrative Court unanimously decided not to exercise jurisdiction over a procedural challenge filed by a company against a lower tribunal. The lower court had imposed multiple fines totaling less than 5000 escudos in a tax transgression proceeding. The court ruled that such minor penalties fall within the exclusive competence of the second-instance tribunal, thereby rejecting the request for Supreme Court intervention.
