Supreme Court dismisses extraordinary review, ruling customs transfer of case violates duty to decide on merits.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the extraordinary review, overturning the lower court's decision to transfer the customs duty case to another authority. The court found that both the Director and the Chief Customs Officer violated Article 151 § 1(2) of the Customs Procedure Act by failing to issue a substantive decision on the duty assessment. Consequently, the court held that transferring the matter to another organ does not constitute a resolution of the case's substance and ordered the proper authorities to rule directly on the duty.
