Tax office exempt from court fees in labor disputes as state entity without civil legal personality.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether the Tax Office must pay court fees in labor disputes. The lower court rejected the Tax Office's appeal because it failed to pay fees, arguing that the agency possessed judicial capacity and was subject to proportional fees due to the case value. The Supreme Court ruled that the Tax Office is exempt from fees because, as an organizational unit of the State Treasury lacking civil legal personality, it cannot bear the financial burden of such orders.
