The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the jurisdictional appeal filed by the Public Treasury against a contraventional penalty imposed on Gelima-Frigoríficos de Viana SA. The court determined that the specific tax law cited by the Public Treasury does not govern acts classified merely as social order contraventions. Consequently, the court ruled that the tax provisions were inapplicable to the specific nature of the alleged offense.
