The Supreme Court dismissed the taxpayers' appeal against a tax decision by explicitly ignoring a ministerial regulation deemed unconstitutional. The court found that the regulation violated the Constitution by allowing the executive to tax fuel blending, a matter reserved for the legislature. Consequently, the court exercised its power to omit the invalid norm and issued a judgment based exclusively on the Constitution and the relevant tax statute.
