The Supreme Administrative Court refused to hear the jurisdictional appeal filed by the appellant against the Tax Court of Appeal. The appellant argued for judicial review of a decision by the Customs General Director, but the court noted that the third instance of jurisdiction had been eliminated by law effective September 15, 1997. Consequently, the court determined it lacked the authority to examine the case because the legal framework no longer permitted such a review mechanism.
