§ 826. Determinations of Secretary; appeal

Any importer, owner, or person affected by any determination made by the Secretary of Agriculture or his representative pursuant to § 824 or 825 of this title, who is not in agreement therewith, may appeal from such determination within the fifteen (15) days next following the date on which he received written notice thereof, and in such case the return or destruction of the biological product shall remain pending the final and conclusive resolution of the appeal. The remedy shall be sought through complaint to be filed against the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in the pertinent part of the Court of First Instance of Puerto Rico, without the giving of bond, and notice thereof shall be served on the Secretary of Justice of Puerto Rico, who shall submit his plea within the term prescribed for any ordinary action. The hearing shall be held without subjection to docket, and against the judgment pronounced no action shall issue other than a certiorari before the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico, limited to issues of law.
